Author Profile Picture

Shuzo Fujimoto

Fujimoto Shuzo (1922–2015) was a Japanese origami creator and teacher who transformed the way paper folding could express geometry. Originally a high school science teacher, he used origami to explain crystal structures and mathematical concepts, soon developing his own groundbreaking tessellations and modular forms. Fujimoto is best known for designs like the Hydrangea, Clover Folding, and Fujimoto Cube, which remain iconic in the origami world.

He published influential self-made books such as Solid Origami and the Twist Origami series, many of which have since been released into the public domain. Today, he is celebrated as one of origami’s great innovators—a “first origami engineer” whose work continues to inspire both artists and mathematicians.
