Our special guest this year will be Toshikazu Kawasaki from Japan, creator of the famous Kawasaki Rose and many other amazing models. He was born in 1955 in Nagasaki. During his high school years he saw a photo of a white swan created by Akira Yoshizawa, which inspired him to pursue origami. In university he majored in the algebraic theory of numbers, but at the same time he was also studying the geometry of origami. His university degree was based on his work on the theory of Origami Crane variations, and his doctoral thesis was on Tessellations. He is currently a professor at the Anan National College of Technology, in Japan. We look forward to folding and sharing with this wonderful creator.

An origami molar I folded out of ivory color Stardream paper is now sitting on a shelf in the studio waiting for my next dental appointment. I will let you know how my dentist reacts. At the least I hope he gives me a big smile!
Thank you for posting this video. I made a tooth for my dentist. He seemed genuinely pleased, even bringing it out of his office for a follow-up appointment I had. He noted the many folds, and was interested in the connection between origami and mathematics. your considerable teaching skills made it possible to brighten his day.
There were attendance and participation from many states of the United States, over 10 different countries. The convention was open to anyone who had membership with OUSA, however for two days though, on Saturday and Sunday the public was given access to an exhibition space where many local, national or international origami folders showcased works.
Later, in a large common space called the Great Hall, swarms of chatting people were seated at tables, some demonstrating, others folding along with questions. Some models were simple, others more challenging, still others were fiendishly complex. If you were the slightest bit interested in origami, you would be sucked into a maelstrom of folding fellowship. If you had no immediate friends, you would soon make some.
Passing on this infectious fun, I found myself proselytizing. I remember airplane flights where the passenger sitting next to me got off at his/her destination with a lapful of simple folded models I taught to make the journey go pleasantly. I have taught origami in Boston area and in Fairfield, Iowa.
The origami movement has been spreading worldwide in many countries, with local groups forming. Internet resources include video tutorials, diagrams, articles, mailing lists, origami folding paper. For tutorials, try googling for your interest, including YouTube. Definitely see the Origami USA website at which sells books and papers, gives information, newsletters, convention news. Be sure to see the striking photos of past conventions.

- First off i just want to say that i LOVE your site! I haven't found a site with this good of origami instructions yet! I love that you have step-by-step instructions and photos to go along. The photos help me a TON! If i don't understand the instructions i can just look a the picture to help me along. I never thought I could do origami and I never even thought about trying. I thought that origami would be too hard for me, but since i found this site I realized that is so untrue! Ever since I found this I have been making origami and the assortment is growing by the week! I could write about how much I love this site forever but I think this is enough. I hope you keep on adding new origami because I'm almost through with these! I love this site but just a few of the instructions were a little bit hard for me to figure out but I'm in the groove now. I would like a little bit harder looking but easy doing origami though. Thank you SO much for creating this site! You really are spreading joy one fold at a time! I hope i will be uploading some pictures soon! Thanks again! (Oct 2011)
- I just wanted to write to tell you how much I love this site. Over the summer I had drivers education and had to go to work with my dad daily. I spent roughly six hours a day with him and I had nothing to do... that is until I realized there was an abundance of scrap paper laying around. I was then struck with the idea of doing origami, but didn't know how to make anything. I jumped on the internet and found this amazing site. Now, not only have I found things to do all summer stuck in an office, but I have also found an amazing hobby. Thank you for this amazing website!(July 2011)
- I really enjoy your site. After I studied and made all of the origami base folds I was finally able to really understand what I was doing. I always wanted to learn origami but the few times in my life that I tried I could not understand the instructions. Learning how to make the base folds on your site changed my way of thinking and doing! Suddenly I understood. Finally I am able to fold origami animals and whatever I want. Thank you for taking the time and effort to make this website possible. You have offered a little bit of joy to me and I am happy to receive it!(March 2011)
- Just wanted to THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! My grand-daughter's 9th birthday arrived and she wanted money to buy clothes and I was struggling to think of a way to make the gift of cash special when I remembered origami from 2nd grade lol! I made her the elephant and the shirt and a bow I knew how to make already, which I did not see listed on your site. She was thrilled and touched and I think she will remember this birthday present better than a lot of others I have gotten her! I have also used this for tips in restaraunts and have had waitresses tell me they KEPT THEM! How great that you have this site for people like me it was pretty easy, even though my elephant looked like it had elephantitis lol! I will spread the word!(Feb 2011)

- I house-sat for a family friend this summer and decided to make them a few pieces of origami as a welcome home display on their entrance table: 3 vases on a lotus each, with 3 lilies and a crane each. Thanks so much for your fantastic instructions! It was just what I've been looking for--the best, clearest, easiest to understand instructions I've found! Keep up the good work! (Aug 2010)
