Satoshi Kamiya

Satoshi Kamiya ( 神⾕ 哲史 Kamiya Satoshi,


born June 6, 1981 in Nagoya, Japan) is a
Japanese origami artist. Known
internationally to be a master of the craft,
he began folding at age two. Kamiya
began designing origami models in 1995,
and has since published hundreds of his
creations.[1] Perhaps his most famous
design is Ryu-Zin 3.5, an elaborate dragon
covered with scales and having feelers,
claws, and horns. The work can take up to
one month to fold properly.[2] Kamiya has
drawn inspiration for his designs from
Manga, nature, and both eastern and
western mythologies.

Many of Kamiya's origami designs are


exceptionally complex; the dragons require
around 275 steps each and need to be
made from at least 20" squares of thin
paper or foil. The Ryu-Zin 3.5 is unique,
however, in that the crease pattern is
asymmetrical yet produces a symmetrical
model. Kamiya has written three books,
the most famous of which, Works of
Satoshi Kamiya, 1995-2003 includes
diagrams of nineteen models of
intermediate through complex difficulty.
Kamiya's third book, Works of Satoshi
Kamiya 2, 2002-2009, released in 2012,
includes 16 models and is a follow-up to
his debut. Although most of these were
previously published in convention books
and magazines, it also includes new,
previously unpublished diagrams for the
famous feathered, long-tailed phoenix.

In June 2019, Kamiya released a third


volume of his designs. This book, Works of
Satoshi Kamiya 3, contains models
previously published in magazines and
convention books, as well as models
taught in origami classes, like his Tiger
and Zero Fighter.
