Origami is traditional Japanese art of paper folding. The traditional concept of origami is to make interesting objects from only one piece of paper without cutting it or using a glue.

Eric Joisel is origami artist born in Paris in 1956. He began with origami art in 1983. His artistic work is more popular in Japan and United States than in Europe. He says that Europeans see origami as something that is for children.

“I sell mostly in Japan and America because Europeans see origami as being for children”, said Eric Joisel whose artpieces are sold for a few of thousands of dollars.

With enough time, boredom, and creativity, people can seem to do just about anything.

This puts my beloved step-by-step origami books to shame. Beautiful pieces; thank-you for sharing.

These are amazing. I cannot imagine the amount of time it took to learn how to do this.
