In designing the 20 models contained in this volume the author followed a highly original approach. In fact, he combined the basic rules of origami with a criterion of speed and a "direct" method which involves fewer folds: a technique which, in his opinion, is often better and more effective than other more complex ones. Some models have been developed using only the upstream (convex) and downstream (concave) folds, according to the system created by the English origamist John Smith and called “Pureland”.

Even if you only use the most basic folding techniques, and even if you are mostly dealing with common subjects and fairly simple models, you will obtain results that are nothing short of magical, as in the panda, the eagle, the ship in a bottle, the chessboard or in the gingerbread man. The very useful introductory section illustrates all the symbols and terminology of origami, to help even beginners understand and master the language.

A few simple folds... and fun is guaranteed!
