I the next 21th, july, Kamiya will release your new book, not trhough Origami House, but Soshimu.

The highlights are the explanation of ryu-zin 3.5 folding process

you beat me to it.

it looks like the kamiya version of origami design secrets, with mostly text describing his design and display process.

though if it has the diagrams for his styracosaurus (my favorite dinosaur), i'll pan out. as far as i can tell, though, it will only have diagrams for his kabuto-mushi and cocker spaniel, and the cp for ryu-jin 3.5.

Ah, so that's what he's doing with the Ryu-zin 3.5 CP. I heard it was coming out in an interesting, non-Tanteidan, way at OUSA, but that was all we were told. This is a DEFINITE buy for me, even if I can't read a lick of Japanese.

Man, this list of definite buys is getting long and by extension expensive…

And it looks more like Kamiya's version of Michael LaFosse's Advanced Origami/Origami Art. It looks to be about folding, not designing.

Origamimasterjared, according to the google translator, it is about folding and exposition.

Yeah, I used the Google translator too. :)

I'm really excited for this to become available!

though i know the origami public at large is eager for all things kamiya, i would urge patience (though i myself would probably not wait if there indeed diagrams for the styracosaurus), mostly because there might be an english translation, as there was for genuine origami, and i for one would enjoy reading kamiya's thoughts on his design/display process.

it seems there may be more to this book than meets the eye on google translate. nicolas terry seems to be implying that there are diagrams for komatsu and hoyjo models as well in the passionorigami twitter. he spoke of seeing the layout of a complex origami book in the works in his twitters from ousa. well, here's hoping...

Yeah, I think the Mouse is Komatsu's, and the Violinist is Hojyo's.
