Felix Tikotin, a Dutch dealer, acted as a liaison. The exhibition was held at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam. His first overseas exhibition was organized in October 1955 by Gershon Legman, a leading player in the early years of the origami movement. It was followed closely by his founding of the International Origami Centre in Tokyo in 1954, when he was 43. The publishing of this book helped Yoshizawa out of his poverty. In this work, he established the Yoshizawa–Randlett system of notation for origami folds (a system of symbols, arrows and diagrams ), which has become the standard for most paperfolders. In 1954, his first monograph, Atarashii Origami Geijutsu (New Origami Art) was published. However, it was his work for the January 1952 issue of the magazine Asahi Graph that launched his career, which included the 12 zodiac signs commissioned by a magazine. His origami work was creative enough to be included in the 1944 book Origami Shuko, by Isao Honda ( 本多功). He made origami models to cheer up the sick patients, but eventually fell ill himself and was sent back to Japan. During World War II, Yoshizawa served in the army medical corps in Hong Kong. During the next 20 years, he lived in total poverty, earning his living by door-to-door selling of tsukudani (a Japanese preserved condiment that is usually made of seaweed). In 1937, he left factory work to pursue origami full-time. Yoshizawa used the traditional art of origami to understand and communicate geometrical problems. His new job was to teach junior employees geometry. His passion for origami was rekindled in his early 20s, when he was promoted from factory worker to technical draftsman. He moved into a factory job in Tokyo when he was 13 years old.

When he was a child, he took pleasure in teaching himself origami. Yoshizawa was born on 14 March 1911, in Kaminokawa, Japan, to the family of a dairy farmer. In 1983, Emperor Hirohito awarded him the Order of the Rising Sun, 5th class, one of the highest honors bestowed in Japan. Yoshizawa acted as an international cultural ambassador for Japan throughout his career. According to his own estimation made in 1989, he created more than 50,000 models, of which only a few hundred designs were presented as diagrams in his 18 books. He is credited with raising origami from a craft to a living art. Akira Yoshizawa ( 吉澤章, Yoshizawa Akira, 14 March 1911 – 14 March 2005) was a Japanese origamist, considered to be the grandmaster of origami. Our readers are so artistic!
