5.0 out of 5 stars WONDERFUL! Great directions for this exquisite art form, January 16, 2002

This review is from: Origami Rokoan Style #2: More on the Art of Connecting Cranes (Hardcover)

I love this book as much as I do its predecessor (which is quite a feat, let me tell you). Although an origam aficionado, these are the only books I've ever seen to address this exquisite technique (Rokoan style). I love the breathtakingly beautiful photos, and look forward to mastering the techniques shown. In addition to their beauty, the symbolism and meaning of the crane would make any of these an extraordinary gift. Both books come with quite a few sheets of the gorgeous Japanese paper -- but, although that would be perfect, you can achieve glorious results (not to mention practice) with ordinary gift wrap. Highly recommended!
