This being said, the book collects 19 of Kamiya's creations, arranged chronologically by dates of design, so you can follow Kamiya's progress (actually, he was pretty good from the start!). * And, of course, having all the models in one place is a treat, too. * Each model is accompanied by Kamiya's thoughts and tips about its design. * The instructions are now in English, too! * Most of the diagrams have been re-drawn for sake of clarity, and even to incorporate design changes. However, the book is still worth obtaining even for the obsessive magazine collectors among us, because: Kamiya states in the forward to the book that he did not publish this book in order to show his new designs, but rather to provide a source of inspiration for young would-be designers.
This book was expected for a long time, and when its contents was finally revealed, there was some disappointment, as almost all the models in it have already been published elsewhere - in magazines, convention-books etc.
Most of his models, despite being ultra-complex and extremely detailed, still have a sense of beauty and are quite aesthetic and pleasing to look at.
Satoshi Kamiya is one of the leading "Technical Origami" creators in the world today.
