For the 101st birth anniversary of origami grandmaster Akira Yoshizawa, Google has posted a paper folding doodle on its homepage.
Japanese artist Akira Yoshizawa (born March 14, 1911; died March 14, 2005) revived the ancient Japanese art of paper folding called origami. It was though Yoshizawa's efforts that the art became an international rage.
Because of his worldwide popularity Yoshizawa also served as a cultural ambassador of Japan and was honoured with Japan's Order of the Rising Sun in 1983.
