I folded his hydrangea design recently, following a video tutorial[1]. It is amazing. The finished model is a beautiful fractal flower. The folding steps aren’t terribly hard to do, but robinhouston‘s description - „magical and startling“ - fits this model very well.<p>[1] <a href="https://www.happyfolding.com/instructions-fujimoto-hydrangea" rel="nofollow">https://www.happyfolding.com/instructions-fujimoto-hydrangea</a>
Shuzo Fujimoto designed the most magical and startling origami model I've ever seen, the Fujimoto Cube. Fortunately that one is famous enough that you can find instructions and videos online, but most of his designs are hard to find. I recently enquired on Twitter about his design for an octahedron, which I was able to find only because a kind stranger responded with a samizdat copy. It's very exciting that his wonderful designs are to become more readily accessible.
Watching "Between the Folds", a documentary about Origami is 56 minutes well spent.<p><a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1253565/" rel="nofollow">https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1253565/</a>
These look wonderful. Sadly the introductory pages which seem to show/explain theory and techniques are probably not understandable without translation. Is there already a project working on this?
This looks really interesting.<p>Can some kind soul please upload (at least one) of these books to archive.org? That seems a much
better place for Public Domain works than google drive.<p>I understand that the people releasing the books may not be tech-aware enough to realize that many
people will not download them from google drive (this is not for technical reasons).

This is the second time I've come across free out-of-print books on HN, that were hosted on google drive, preventing me from downloading them. The previous were computer books by Usborne.<p>Why do people do this? Please use a sharing site or make a torrent if on a budget, find a friend who knows how.
Love public domain availability news.
