This thin book has few new models, but I'm keeping it for it's interesting approach to the subject matter; the curious relationships between origami and math. It's almost more theoretical that hands-on. That said, I filled my Christmas tree with the simple "Roulette" model on the front cover (done up in Cayola's stardust inkjet paper) because it looked so amazing as an ornament. Think Frobel's cool? Want to fold a pentagram or make a pentagon? Know much about the Pythagorean theorem or the golden rectangle? Do you want one book with a selection of simple units to make platonic solids and other 3D shapes? Maybe this book is for you.

I find this an interesting book with some incredible origami pieces, but be careful when buying it, because it is not as easy at it seems. If you are a novice in origami, you'll need patience and orientation from someone who knows more than you. Anyway, there is indeed beautiful origami.

You know, Kasahara has always been one of the pioneers, and one of the best origamists of the world, a book very interesting, you should buy it.
