Greetings, I got a slightly off-topic inquiry from someone, asking if I could tell her what this type/style of paper sculpture is called: http://www.evermore.com/temp/panda.jpg I've seen things like this before (usually commercially produced - they usually fold flat) but, don't really know if it has a special name. She is looking for instructional books, etc. Anyone have any leads?

Mainly full-colour. This is in the "Heart Warming Life Series" and is the book mentioned by Ronald Koh, which he presumably bought in Singapore. A very cheerful, humorous book with lots of birds, insects, a dragon and many other items. ISBN 4-277-75328-0 Paperbacked, 8 1/4 X 10 inches 72 pages. Coloured pages at the beginning, the rest in black and white. This is published by "Ondori", the imprint that publishes Chatani's books of so-called "Origami Architecture." This is much the same as the previous book, but not quite so jolly and, to my mind, not so good. ISBN 4-8347-6177-0 Paperbacked, 7 1/4 X 7 inches. 50 pages. Published in the "Petit boutique series". A somewhat smaller book than the first two, but in full colour. Humorous. Has some splendid crabs and cartoon peacocks. An attractive little book. ISBN 4-8347-1498-5. Paperbacked, 8 1/4 X 10 1/4 inches.90 pages. This is the book I obtained from the Origami USA Origami Source. From the ISBN, it is the same publisher as the previous, smaller book. coloured plates at the beginning, the rest in black and white. Contains a number of stylised swans and a splendid natural Japanese crane with a black ad white neck and scarlet on its crown. All four of these books adopt a special notation of triangles in rows, some triangles pointing upwards and others pointing downwards. These are supplemented by more standard origami-style diagrams, but drawn in perspective, rather like Robert Harbin's "Paper Magic". Sometimes photographs are used to illustrate the method of construction. I haven't yet tried to reproduce any of the models, but I do not doubt that with a modicum of application and study, it would be possible to reproduce the models without much difficulty. But the technique is far from our usual Origami."
