Overall Impression

This book brings together some of Kasahara's favorite subjects, cute animals, half-opened creases (which means that the paper is creased, and an image is merely suggested from these creases, without any hard folds), and "out of origami boundaries" models, such as weaving and cutting. The book opens with a variety of traditional models, and contains lots of text, in Japanese.
