Satoshi Kamiya (born June 6, 1981, in Nagoya, Japan) is one of the most advanced origami masters in the world. He learned origami at age two, and has since made hundreds of origami models. His most famous are two dragons, one called the Divine Dragon "Bahamut" and the other called the "Ancient Dragon". Satoshi based many of his models, including the dragons, on Japanese manga episodes. [citation needed]
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 designed a blue whale; a woolly mammoth; a sabre-toothed tiger; various dinosaurs including a Tyrannosaurus; a wizard (a rare example of asymmetrical origami); and even a third, unpublished, Chinese dragon, "Ryu-jin," with scales, a mustache, claws and horns. Kamiya has written one book, which includes nineteen challenging models.
Satoshi traveled to Canada in January to teach a special Origami class at Japanese Canadian Culture Center (JCCC). Interview is published on the February 8th, 2008 edition of The Nikka Times Newspaper. [1]
