Overall Impression

This is a collection of models demonstrating the many interests of Kunihiko Kasahara. There are his "half opened" folds, using only a few creases to create forms and expressions; his delightful animal models - angular, yet graceful; samples of his study of modular cubes and boxes, and more. Basically, there is something for every taste.
