The flowers themselves require no scissors or adhesive to make. Then with some floral tape and wire they can be combined into beautiful arrangements bouquets and even interior decorations. The designs in BloomingOrigami  which are shown in vivid full-color photographs are more stylized in the way of traditional Japanese origami flowers.Renowned artist Fumio Inoue's motto is origami from hand to hand which describes his mission to pass on to others by demonstrating with his own hands his art and ideas. Ever since his childhood in Tokyo he has been passionate about origami paper folding. In 1970 he began creating innovativedesigns of his own to complement the traditional styles he loved so well. Now in Blooming Origami  he shares his love for the craft by guiding even less experienced origamists in fashioning these glorious flowers for all seasons.
