This captivating guidebook combines two enchanting traditions — the Japanese art of ikebana, or flower arrangement, and origami, the ancient Japanese practice of paperfolding. Easy-to-follow instructions and an abundance of illustrations enable beginning and expert paperfolders to create even the stems, leaves, and vases for an enchanting array of blossoms.

The definitive book on this complex art —containing designs for folding with complete instructions for their assemblage— compiled, created and edited by the winner of the Scientific American International Paper Airplane Competition (Origami Division), Dr. James M. Sakoda.
