Disappointing if you're a traditionalist,
This review is from: Extreme Origami (Paperback)
Extreme Origami might better be titled Non-traditional Origami. The author focuses on origami with tools, incomplete folds, origami with cutting, and modular origami. I have never been a big fan of any of these - especially scissors and modular origami. For me, scissors always feel like cheating, and, in addition, it's often obvious in the finished product and doesn't look as good. Modular origami has always seemed tedious - folding the same simple piece over and over. Kasahara has lots of modular boxes in this book; perhaps a third of the book or more is devoted just to modular boxes! If that's your cup of tea, fantastic. Otherwise, you probably won't be a fan.
On the plus side, it might be worth getting the book from your local library just to learn the fold on the cover. Of course, it requires on-square paper, cutting, and tools! I wasn't really blown away by any of the folds in the book, and couldn't be bothered with the modular pieces. I much preferred the other book he co-wrote, Origami for the Connoisseur. This book requires a low to moderate level of skill - not ideal for a pure beginner, but you don't need to be an expert either. |
