Critics Review
“…Tomoko Fuse’s Origami Art is an extraordinary showcase of the three-dimensional geometric designs that have made Fuse world-famous…a treasure for artbook collections and origami enthusiasts, highly recommended.” – Midwest Book Review
“Few origami artists have been as accomplished in as wide a range of styles, constantly pushing the boundaries on uncharted approaches. Fuse’s style is so rich, her geometric forms have an organic feel. This book also showcases her incredible execution of her works, clearly demonstrating her worthiness of the title of Origami Master.” – Marc Kirschenbaum, American origami artist and author of Origami in an Instant
“More than any other origami creator, the work of Tomoko Fuse has successfully made the elusive transition from pure technique to pure art. This is a must-have book.” – Paul Jackson, British origami artist and author of The Art and Craft of Paper Sculpture
