hiroshi hayakawa

This is my very first paper craft book published from Lark Books in 2009. Each of these animals was designed to be constructed, without the use of glue or adhesive tape, out of one continuous sheet of paper. You copy the template on a sheet of card stock paper, score the folding lines, cut out the template and turn it into a 3-D sculpture using origami techniques.

In 2011, Sterling Publishing designed this Kirigami Animal Kit based on my book "Kirigami Menagerie" and sold through Barnes and Noble as their exclusive edition. It has the same book with a different cover, perforated and pre-cut templates of all 38 projects, and a completed giraffe. This kit was available for a limited time.

This book published in 2013 contains 35 dog breeds plus a few accessories like a fire hydrant, dog house, sweater for Chihuahua and dog collars. I designed total 40 breeds plus a few variations of some of the dogs but all of them could not fit in the book, so the overflows are posted online as free bonus stuff.

My papercraft book that came out on June 3rd, 2014. This book contains over 25 different birds including Canary, Great Horned Owl, Swan, Woodpecker and Bald Eagle.

My second new book in 2014 that came out on August 5th. This book contains 30 spine-tingling projects like Dracula, Frankenstein's Monster, Wolfman, Mummy, Space Alien, Wicked Witch and many more!
