He served as a bridge between\u0026amp;nbsp;past and present-between the ancient traditional craft and the development of\u0026amp;nbsp;origami as a modern practice-in terms of inventing new techniques and in\u0026amp;nbsp;preserving the traditional Japanese forms. In fact, the notational system of\u0026amp;nbsp;diagrams widely used today to indicate how models are folded was largely invented\u0026amp;nbsp;by him. Above all, Yoshizawa was responsible for elevating origami to the status of\u0026amp;nbsp;an art form.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis beautiful book is the fi rst comprehensive survey of the extraordinary work of\u0026amp;nbsp;Akira Yoshizawa.
