Dear fellow folders, As sad as it is, no one lives forever, and I am worried that once an origami creator is no longer with us, his legacy will fade away as well. To prevent that, I am trying to establish a page dedicated to the old masters of origami on the Community for Creators' (CfC) internet site. The core idea is to have a page on each of the great names that will include the story of his life, images of him and his work, a list of books he published, and, granted permission, some diagrams of his, so visitors can fold his models, and not only read about him.
In a way, it is like a wikipedia page, but without the need to meet the demands wikipedia asks for, which with many cases are an uncrossable barrier. This is not a simple project, and I am unable to make it happen without help. What I seek is to build a team to research and collect this data. A researcher will be asked to help write the text about the master, find an image of his, etc. I already have a list of old masters, which for sure is not complete, but it is a good start. For most I also have who holds their copyrights. If you wish to take part in this project, please send me a private message!
