I enjoy searching for used books by Chatani . This book is written in both in English and Japenese. His books are not for beginners and they are always harder to fold than to cut. Not for beginners. The butterfly makes a beautiful card. White Christmas by Masahiro Chatani and Keiko Nakazawa is the book i use the most when making cards. The santa with sleigh is my favorite in the white christmas book. Always use sharp blades when cutting a metal ruler is also helpful A glass cutting board purchased at craft stores also is the best way to get clean cuts.

I found a copy of this book in my grandmother's attic in Taiwan almost 10 years ago and have tried to make these incredible paper sculptures. It's hard-- the meticulous attention you have to pay to create a paper sculpture but the final result is amazing. It's addictive. I LOVE this book.

This books presents a refreshing and enthralling new art form. It's not just another hobby , but changes one's whole perception of the model of a structure. And the end results are definitely worth the initial hard-work....
