Author Profile Picture

Toshie Takahama

Toshie Takahama is a renowned Japanese origami artist and author whose work has inspired folders for decades. In 1967, she co-founded Sosaku Origami ’67, a creative collective that fostered innovative design ideas in Japan.

A prolific creator, Toshie developed a wide range of charming models—from delicate flowers and playful animals to decorative ornaments and festive motifs—featured across several beloved origami books.

Among her standout contributions is the “Toshie Jewel,” a hexahedral module she developed in 1970 that opened new possibilities for ornamental modular origami. With elegance, simplicity, and creativity woven into every fold, Toshie Takahama’s designs continue to delight folders of all ages and remain staples in the origami canon.
