Simple but unique, an origami box represents the thoughts and feelings of its maker. Between the pleasure of paperfolding and the satisfaction of having a handmade item to use (or give!), the box forms a positive association for the maker (and between the giver and recipient). In this guide, origami master Tomoko Fuse presents 20 original designs for origami boxes — some simple, others more complex, all made from a single sheet of paper.
Beautiful, full-color photographs accompany step-by-step instructions and diagrams for a splendid variety of completely functional boxes. They range from conventional square and rectangular shapes to those in the form of a bird, a basket, a cat's head, a flower, and other shapes. By varying the type of paper and color combinations, folders can create an endless variety of effects. Suitable for origami enthusiasts of all skill levels, this guide promises hours of creative joy.

Selecting the most appropriate paper, thinking about where and how we will use our box, and imagining the places and people with which it will come into contact with is great fun. And by varying the type of paper and color combinations we can create a range of different effects.
Despite being a very simple object, an origami box contains the emotions of the person who created it. With this in mind, I warmly offer you this book and hope that it will inspire a sort of secret smile between the person who builds the box and the person who uses it.
In origami there is no doubt that the primary pleasure comes from folding the paper. But there is another pleasure, which comes immediately afterwards, and that lies in being able to admire and use the objects created. From this point of view, making origami boxes can provide a great sense of satisfaction.
This book contains a wide variety of box models, some very easy, others more complex, all of which can be made with a single sheet of paper. In most cases, the essential structure of the box, made from a single sheet, is accompanied by additional elements, such as a reinforced base or a divider, which can be made using further sheets. This also gives you the opportunity to enjoy creating various color combinations.
