Overall Impression
Taichiro Hasegawa's models are fun! He manages to capture, with a few
folds, the cartoonish appearance of many animals, and creates cute and pretty models.
This book deals with inside-out folding, which means using both different sides of the paper in the final
design.
The layout of the book is excellent, with clear diagrams and a B&W photograph of each model in the corner,
and there are also stunning color spreads with all models in the book.
