A super useful and illustrated guide to creating paper crafts both the folding kind as with origami and the cutting kind as with kirigami.
The book explains paper crafts as a cultural element for home, relationships, hobby, and relaxation and provides ample opportunities to test skills with a variety of paper and folding/cutting.

Many new designs for a variety of occasions! I appreciated the QR codes linking to tutorials for the trickier projects. The feathered crane is especially striking.
