Tomoko Fuse

Tomoko Fuse

and is by many considered to be the master of unit origami and one of the pre-eminent living Japanese Origami Masters.

She has designed many modular boxes and containers, kusudama, paper toys, masks, and modular polyhedra and other geometric objects, and is one of the most prolific origami authors in the world, with many publications in Japanese, Korean and English. She was born in Niigata and now lives with her husband Taro, a respected woodblock printmaker and etcher, in a hillside village in rural Nagano prefecture, Japan.

Fuse first learned origami while in hospital as a child. When she was 19 years old, she studied for 2 1/2 years with origami master Toyoaki Kawai. She started publishing origami books in 1981, and has since published more than 60 books (plus overseas editions) as of September 2005.

"Unit Origami: Multidimensional Transformations", the English language edition of her seminal modular origami inventions, may be considered the classic text on modular origami available in the English language.
