Though the show was not easily watchable in the US, the segments of it 
have been posted on the reporter's, Kristie Lu Stout's youtube channel.

This channel looks to be an official source, so I would think sharing

I didn't see this article mentioned here and think it should be more 
widely shared.

It's not about origami so much, but about the other interesting and 
important work James Sakoda did when he wasn't folding. Because most of 
us have day jobs.

Dear Lorenzo,

I have that book and do know something about it. It is called 折り紙の幾何学 
(The Geometry of Origami) (1979) and was written by Kôdi Husimi, a 
physicist, mathematician and statesman, and his wife, Mitsue Fushimi. 
(Their last name is 伏見 in kana, but they used different styles of 
romanization. Both spellings reflect one pronunciation.) I corresponded 
briefly with their son, who told me Mitsue Fushimi was the real folder 
in the family.


It is an interesting book with clever models and some fun math in it. I 
cannot say the diagrams are always easy to follow.


Jun Maekaewa's Folding Geometry (2016) has one of the book's models, a 
particularly elegant cube, on pages 112 and 113. Other models from the 
book show up in Kasahara's Origami Omnibus (1988) and Kasahara's and 
Takahama's Origami for the Connoisseur (1987).


Yours,

Philip Chapman-Bell

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know what kind of book this is?
https://www.hon034.com/items/25963002

it seems to me something like proceedings of a Math/Origami conference, or
similar. Can you tell more?

Regards,
Lorenzo
