The greatest origami of Satoshi Kamiya
Most of Satoshi’s origami is extremely complex; the dragons require around 275 steps each and need to be made from 20″ squares of thin paper or foil. He has also made a Blue Whale, a woolly mammoth, a saber-toothed tiger, various dinosaurs including a Tyrannosaurus, a wizard (a rare example of asymmetrical origami), and even a third, unpublished, Chinese dragon, Ryu-zin with scales, mustache, claws and horns. Satoshi has recently published a book with many of his models, clearly diagrammed in English and Japanese, for the elite and experienced folder.
