Origami - The Japanese Art of Paperfolding

Origami and Kusudama are two crafts which fascinate us. Whether it is simple animal forms, bird folds, masks, or lanterns, or origamic architecture, or pop-up greeting cards, we spend hours making things and giving away to our young friends and admirers. Origami is indeed "one way of awakening in paper, one of the commonest substances in our daily lives, the boundless possibilities for expression that lie dormant in it. In a seemingly worthless single sheet of paper exist birds, animals, insects, flowers, human figures and even advanced abstract forms. One of the joys of origami is being able to bring forth from paper lovely forms that we can use to ornament our rooms to fill them with a dream-like atmosphere" (we quote from the book Creative Origami by Kunihiko Kasahara, our guru). Vasu has designed a temple chariot in origamic architecture style, designed principally using Visio drawings.
