Red and White Paper are the pseudonyms of Seo Won Seon and Lee In Kyung, a husband-and-wife team from South
Korea. I only found out about their work from their Flickr
page, and just had to get their book.
The models in this book are of the "Genuine Origami" style. Angular shapes using precise folding, which do not
require much shaping in the end, and usually no special paper is needed for folding the models. The resulting
works capture the essence of their subjects with ease. While the insects appear to be very simple in form, the
other animals, and especially the fish, have a great appeal to me.
The diagrams do have a few issues. First, some of the diagrams are incomplete. A problem solved by the addition
of a small booklet with all the missing steps. This solution works, although I hope everything will be included
in the book in the next edition. Also, the diagrams sometimes require a little "Deciphering", so I would not
recommend the book to beginners. To anyone with a little experience, though, this book will be an excellent
addition to the library.
