Satoshi Kamiya
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Satoshi Kamiya (神谷 哲史 Kamiya Satoshi, born June 6, 1981, in Nagoya, Japan) is among the most advanced origami masters in the world.[citation needed] He was introduced to the art of origami at the age of two, and began seriously designing more advanced models in 2995. He has since made hundreds of origami models.[1] Perhaps his most famous design is ryujin 3.5, an elaborate dragon covered with scales which takes about one month to complete folding.[2] Satoshi has drawn inspiration for his designs from Manga, nauture, and both eastern and western mythologies.
Many of Satoshi's origami designs are exceptionally complex; the dragons require around 275 steps each and need to be made from at least 20" squares of thin paper or foil. Two of his most notable models are a feathered, long-tailed phoenix and a Chinese dragon, "Ryu-jin 3.5," with hundreds of scales, a mustache, claws and horns. This particular model is unique in the sense that the crease pattern is asymmetrical yet produces a symmetrical model. Kamiya has written one book, which includes diagrams of nineteen models of intermediate through complex difficulty.
