4.0 out of 5 stars Only the basic, December 30, 2006

I guess I found this collection rather boring, I would have prefered the Origami American Style by John Montroll just because this collection is all of the shapes I learned in grade school. It would have been more interesting to learn shapes I'd never seen. Otherwise, the book is easy to follow and includes the crane, tulip, angel fish, etc. That's why I gave it four stars. Good starter book for first time paper folders.

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This one is great for beginners. The book has good diagrams & the selection of paper included is nice. It gives you three different sizes and some of them are solid colors, some prints & even a few foil. (Gotta love those metallic colors.) The only thing I don't agree with is that amazon put this in the toys section - I know adults that do origami & I myself have been doing it awhile (since about 12 or 13 yrs old). So buy this if you want to learn origami. =)

This review is from: Aitoh The Ancient Art of Origami Kit origami kit

I have done simple origami for several years. I was going to send this box to my 8-year old nephew but decided to open the box and inspect the book to see what I was sending. I'm glad I did. The booklet has many diagrams using the standard origami fold symbols, without ANY explanation of how to do these folds or what the fold symbols mean. Nice variety of papers in different patterns and sizes. Much better to buy some standard 6-inch origami paper online and a book such as Montroll's "Easy Origami" if you are purchasing this for a beginner, such as a child.
