Tomoko Fuse Has Written 60+ Books About The Art Form
Tomoko Fuse is considered one of the great masters of the craft. She began her passion for origami when she was hospitalized as a child. The paper folding craft kept her busy through the boring hours spent in bed. When she was 19 years old she went to study for two years with origami master, Toyoaki Kawai. She’s best known for her Kusudama, or flower-like designs. They are ancient Japanese designs that were used to hold incense and potpourri during religious ceremonies. She’s also authored sixty books on the art form and gives regular talks, hoping to inspire and keep the tradition of origami alive.
