This is my first book. So it was hard work for me because I had many first experiences. It was impossible without the existence of senior designers from all over the world who taught me the fun of the modular origami and the beauty of the ‘Kusudama’. I am not a native language of English, so if you do not understand my English expression, please refer to the figures and photos. Also, I would like to express my gratitude to my family and friends who cheered and cooperated in spite of the long creation period.

ASSEMBLY GUIDE This section shows how to assemble some major polyhedron shapes. They are following four kinds of polyhedrons having a triangle to an octagon. ✓ Regular Icosahedron (consisting of triangles) ✓ Regular Dodecahedron (consisting of pentagons) ✓ Truncated Octahedron (consisting of squares and hexagons) ✓ Truncated Hexahedron (consisting of triangles and octagons) Other polyhedrons are always composed of some of the above five polygons (triangle, square, pentagon, hexagon, octagon), so please refer to them. These are just examples. It is OK if you have other easy-to-assemble procedures.

Unit Type In some polyhedrons that have hexagon and octagon, using a unit with a mountain fold in the center in addition to the normal type unit. mountain fold
