KUSUOAMA is a decorative paper ball for festive occasions. Originally it was an ornamental scent bag hung to clear away noxious vapors, thus the name

"KUSU" (medicine) + "OAMA" (ball). Origami works are usually made from one piece of square paper, but Kusudama Origami is different. It combines several units of origami. Folding each piece and then joining the units with the completed ball in mind is an enjoyable process. No intricate methods are involved; folding and joining the units is simple and easy. This is a basic book for beginners. The step-by-step illustrations are clear, and there is no guesswork. A completed Kusudama makes a wonderful present, and is indispensable as a Christmas decoration.
