The popularity and diversity of Modern origami can be attributed to the work of one man, Yoshizawa Akira.

After centuries of folding the same traditional models, in the early 1950's, Master Yoshizawa published books with completely new models.

He, together with American Sam Randlett, developed the standard set of origami diagram symbols that are still in use today.

Today, Yoshizawa, at age 92, is regarded as the grandmaster of origami in the world.
