Subject: Re: bookstores in Tokyo

You wrote asking about bookstores in Tokyo.
I was there last summer.  The two best places that I found to buy both books
and paper were the following:

  Itoya - shop in the Ginza.  Had to ask at the main shop, go through the
store down an alley and in an elevator up to the 3rd or 4th floor of a
building.  Had paper and some books.  I found four Yoshizawa books that I
didn't have, plus the ORU quarterly folding diagrams.

   Origami Kaikan - or Yushima no Kobayashi - Wonderful store, wonderful
paper, especially if you're looking for handmade papers both in large sheets
and already cut in squares.  I bought several sheets, of washi which is
excellent for folding.  There were many books, and magazines there also.  I
found a book by a Spanish group that Rick Beech recommended there.  It took
asking 6 different people and 1/2 hour to finally figure out the right way
to get there.  I wrote down the directions, if you're interested I'll add
them to the list.  They are at home now.  It is only a short walk from a
Ginza subway line exit, only a couple of exits from the Ueno exit.  Trick is
to know which way to go when you get off the subway!

    If I ever get back to Tokyo, it will be my first stop.

 Save your money!  Many temptations!

Subject: Good source in NY metro area and an okay source in Florida

There is a Japanese mall (that's what I keep calling it, but it's actually a
shopping center) called Yaochan Plaza on River Road in Edgewater, New
Jersey.  This is about 10 minutes south of the George Washington Bridge.
River Road is (big surprise) the road nearest to the Hudson.

The plaza is comprised of a really nifty big supermarket where 90% of the
products are Japanese and in Japanese.  A Japanese food court is attached to
the supermarket.  There are (we finally get to the pertinent part of the
message here)4 or 5 shops, each with its own entrance, but they all run
together inside.  One of the shops is a good-sized bookstore, again 90%
Japanese language.  There is also a really decent Origami section there.  A
good selection of books including a few I was unfamiliar with (don't
remember the titles...sorry), and a good variety of papers and projects
(very pretty and/or interesting, but figuring them out can be tricky as all
the instructions are in Japanese).

In Disney World's Epcot center is a branch of the Mitsukoshi Dept. store.
They too have a reasonable selection of papers (I love the ones with the
Disney characters) and projects (also w/Japanese instructions), and a
selection of the usual books.

Apologies if these have been discussed or are common knowledge, but I
thought I'd pass them along.

How about getting to Gallery Origami House?  It'll take fifteen
or twenty minutes from Tokyo Station.  There are many origami
books both in Japanese and English.  Many kinds of paper and many
models from simple to super-complex are also there.  I don't know

If you have any suggestions I would be pleased to hear about them. I do have to

It is his opinion that any time spent looking for origami is time taken from

Hi Nigel,
Yes, there is a little Tokyo in Los Angeles with several places that carry

Kinokuniya in Weller Court on the second level. Weller Court is attached to
the New Otani hotel and can be identified easily by the rising sun on the
side of the multi-story structure. There are several shops in Weller Court,
which is popular with Japanese tourists. The New Otani hotel is between 1st

Subject: Origami in KL and Bookstores in Tokyo

I'm from Malaysia and I've been to Singapore and Tokyo but I'm not too sure
about origami books in those places. In Tokyo, make sure you go to
Kinokuniya in Shinjuku. It's their head branch and the largest in Japan (I
think) and covers about seven floors. Unfortunately I wasn't onthis list
yet, and wasn't actually looking for origami supplies so I don't know about
that, but I'm sure its worth a look. In Singapore, you can try looking for
them in any book/stationary department of Japanese department stores
(Yaohan, Isetan, Takashimaya, Sogo, Daimaru, Tokyu) I have not been there
recently but I went to Kinokuniya in Lot 10, Kuala Lumpur and saw a few
origami books but was short on time to really check them out. I also saw so
many varieties of prepackaged origami paper, including washi chiyogami, X
patterned, harmony as well as different sizes and even paper for kusudama
including tassel.

If anybody can supply me with more info regarding shops in K. Lumpur or
other parts of M'sia and Singapore specializing in origami books and/or
paper I'll be very grateful.

In addition to Foyles in Charing Cross Road, you might wish to try to

1.  Dover Bookshop  Eartham(?) Road - close to Covent Garden

2.  Neale Street East   Neale Street - also close to Covent Garden

3.  Japan Centre Bookshop   Piccadilly - south side, near Piccadilly
                            Circus.

4.  Nippon Books   St. Pauls Churchyard, adjacent to St. Pauls Cathedral.

5.  Paper ??  Exhibition Road, nr. Science Museum  (I've never been so
              I'm a bit hazy on the address - it has been mentioned in
              the BOS magazine).

If you're looking for paper, in addition to the above (except Dover), you
should try to find Paperchase. I think there's a branch in Tottenham Court
Road.

Quite a few origami books do make it into the remainder bookshops, so they
are worth a visit if you pass one. Stock varies a lot from month to month,
so it's hard to give advice. I've bought several of Paul Jackson's books,
Paulo Mulatinho's beautiful 'Origami' & Kenneway's 'Complete Origami' in
this way.

Most of the larger bookshops in London will carry some origami books.
You might try Hatchards in Piccadilly for instance.

Well I hope that gives you some ideas. I'd recommend that you buy a 1 day
tube pass if you're planning a shopping spree. Oh, wear some comfy shoes,
and watch out for the weather!

Happy shopping

I'd see if anyone on the list has done this.  What I'm curious about is
what to treat the fabric with so it stays stiff and yet is fold-able.  (I
already checked Kenneway, and while he has info on handkerchief and

Subject: Re: Treating Fabric for Folding

Gretchen,
You might try spray starch.  Spray it lightly on the cloth and then iron
it with an approproately heated iron.  This works best for cotton
fabrics.  If you're folding something with a "finish" to it like chintz,
or rayon or silk, you might want to think about washing the fabric in a
stiffener.  You could probably get something at a fabric store.  Look
for something used in machine embroidery or machine applique work.

I also have used something called "Perfect Sew" by Palmer/Pletsch.  It is
a wash-away fabric stabilizer made for eliminating fabric pucker when
doing applique or embroidery.  I used both these things when I did machine
embroidery on very light-weight fabrics.  I would think they would both work
to stiffen the fabric enough to allow it to keep a fold.

I'm not sure where I got the Perfect Sew -- maybe from Clotilde's Notions
catalog.

Hope this helps.

in each of the three half hour workshops.  I was amazed at how smoothly
everything went.  She is an excellent teacher and picked the perfect

She taught:

Flapping bird - Different from the one made from the crane base
Gulping fish
Penguin that says yes and no
Twister - made from the water bomb base.

She didn't know any books that would have them.

London:

Muji had a branch on the Carnaby St. side of Liberty.  Liberty, which is
located on Regent St,  had a few Jackson books in their first floor book
dept.  Their wrapping papers are beautiful.

On one of the side streets between Regent and Carnaby there was a branch of
Oxfam which sold memocubes made of recycled paper.  Body Shop (locations in
many countries) sells stationery made from water hyacinths in Nepal.

I've also found wrapping paper at Fortnum and Mason on Piccadilly.

Paper Chase on Tottenham Ct Rd had memo cubes. The mezzanine has interesting
papers.   I bought some sheets w/ patterns of bricks, stone walls, floor
tiles, roof tiles, and parquet floors.  Does anyone know what these papers
are used for?  Perhaps doll houses or architectural models?

The Japan Centre had books and paper.  I think they've moved to Piccadilly.

There was a bookstore opposite the British Museum, Probsthain & Co. Oriental
booksellers, 41 Great Russell St near Tottenham Ct Rd,  which carried origami
books.  I saw a copy of Origami Omnibus there years ago for 15 pounds.

California, Washington:

Cost Plus for inexpensive wrapping papers, sold in rolls of 5 sheets.  Not
sure if they still carry Italian marble paper.  They used to sell noren, the
little curtains hung over the entry way to Japanese restaurants.  Some were
decorated w/ tsuru.  There is a branch of Cost Plus  in Palm Springs.

Hello,

Last origami usa '95 convention I bought Tomoko Fuse's Spirals book.  My
boss at the time could read Japanese and I thought that he would help
me.  Then I changed jobs and put the book away.  I made a friend at my
new job who had never folded.  Well, I lent her my books and she
immediately picked up the Spirals book and began folding!  She doesn't
read Japanese.  After she taught me, I realized that the diagrams are
often enough to figure it out.

So.... I bought Fuse's second spiral book.   Well neither my friend nor
I can quite figure out the models on pages 58 - 67.  They are modular
skeletons of pyramids with spirals inside.  I am assuming that the
pyramid is made from the previous page diagrams, but aren't sure.

Any hints?

Hi! I have a picture of what I think you're looking for on my origami web
page...it's Jeremy Shafer's flasher action model, as folded by Chris Palmer.
According to Tom Hull, diagrams can be found in the Spring 1995 BARF (Bay
Area Rapid Folders) Newsletter or in ORU number 9 (Summer 1995). Of course,
due to its geometric simplicity you might even be able to figure it out from
the picture!

Hello,

A month or so back, someone was going to be visiting the
Chinese Detainee's from the Golden Venture.  I think I missed the follow
up post, but I am work in NYC, so I took a long lunch and went to the
Museum of Chinese in Americas to see the exhibit.

The museum - 70 Mulberry Street, New York, NY 10013
               tel: 212-619-4785  fax: 212-619-4720

Background:     6 June 1993 the ship Golden Venture carrying ~ 300
Chinese men and women ran aground off of Queens, NY.  The refugees have
been "guests" of the US Immigration and Naturalization Service in jails
along the east coast ever since.  A number of refugees have been held in
York County Jail in PA and have created over 10,000 works of folded
paper and papier mache art as well as poems and prose.

exhibit:        There were ~ 100 pieces of the folk art displayed at the
museum.  The pieces are mostly modulars  - identical pieces of folded
pieces of paper that are assembled like a mosaic design to create a 3d
object.  There were pineapples, pagoda shaped structures, lobsters,
birds, and several items which resembled pitchers.  They were really
beautiful and colorful.  No pictures were allowed.  Several pieces will
be auctioned to support their efforts.  A posting mentioned that several
of the artists were from the Fujian province and had learned to make the
folk art as a child.  They called it hua-pin and zhe-zhi.  (don't know
what that means.)

Subject: Re: Treating Fabric for Folding

I seem to recall that there was some discussion of
fabric treating for origami here on the list,
perhaps a year ago. A search of the archives might
turn it up.

Years ago I did some 'origami quilting', small quilts
(pillow top size, table runner size) using 100% cotton
fabrics suitable for traditional quilting (presses well).
However these were not fully 3D objects expected to support
their own weight. They were geometric designs, with partial
3D surfaces. The layers eliminated a need for 'stuffing'.

However, some 20+ years ago I used to maintain church
linens, which involved washing and pressing everything
from hand embroidered incredibly fine linen garments to
15 ft long 'table cloths' (altar cloths) made of a heavy
linen that when starched and pressed was the consistency
of light cardboard. I made the interesting discovery -
which expained to me those pleated robes pictured in
ancient Egyptian paintings - that to be successfully
ironed, starched linen should start out quite damp/wet.

When that is done, you get sharp creases like paper,
and very smooth surfaces. Moreover, even without
starch, if you start with wet linen, fold it and
pound the folds with a blunt object, you get the same
results as hot ironing; which is most likely how
they got all those fine pleats, spectacular in fine
semi-transparent linen. Dry starched linen 'finger
folds' quite well. In fact, if you don't fold it,
it will go get creased somehow all by itself :-)

Anyway, I also did some origami using extremely fine
(light weight) Irish handkerchief linen, which is fine
enough to be semi-transparent. The results were quite
spectacular. Cotton organza or organdy produced similar
results, with the advantage of colors being available;
however the cotton was more prone to thread breakage
across the folds.

I've also found some handmade experimental papers at
a local artists supply (small, caters to printmakers and
other professionals) that is almost clothlike in texture,
lacks the pronounced grain of commercial papers. The best
handmade Japanese papers have similar characteristics.

Hi all -

        I've been off the list for quite a while, and just resubscribed.  I
haven't heard of this book; is it a BOS publication or is it a real book?
If the latter, could someone provide a full citation (with ISBN)?  Thanks
in advance!  8-)

I'm not sure if this will work, but I have some Fabric stiffener
.  The label reads: Aleene's 2 in 1 Fabric stiffener and liquid
Fabric draping..  I believe it came from either a fabric store
or craft storein Pdx.  I hve had it for a while and have only
used it on crocheted snowflakes.

Hope this note gets posted okay.  I still can't see what I,m
typing,

I'm excited!  Probably 15 years ago I ran across this book by accident in a
public library and photocopied all the diagrams by this American woman I'd
never heard of--named Patricia Crawford.  I've been running around with
these tattered pages ever since.  Her models are very difficult to find and
rather ingenious--several of these are true showpieces.

The Crawford models are:  tetrahedron, octahedron, stalking cat, birds in a
birdbath, squirrel on a log, birds in a nest, mermaid, Christ on the Mount
of Olives, swan, unicorn, kangaroo, scorpion, and a full-rigged ship.

Howdy,

I've been 'lurking' on the origami list for the past few months.  Having gotten
back into origami after a hiatus of a few years, this list is a great way to
catch up.  Thanks, all!

Right now I'm looking for any wolf related origami (realistic models, abstract
models, a wolf mask, etc.) for a friend.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Robert

Try Viva Origami, there is a Wolf model in it by Jun Maekawa a picture of
the model can be found at Erica Andersons (Sp?) home page.  The book is in
Japanese and expsensive so warnings in advance.  Its the only wolf that I
can think of

Anybody else ?

I am still working on my web page for the Menger (Sierpinski) Sponge
Project.  It's taking longer than I hoped, mostly due to work
pressure, but it should be ready in the next couple of weeks.  As Tom
Hull pointed out, the sponge should really be called Menger's sponge,
but Sierpinski is often wrongly credited with its invention.
