Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Dive under the sea with these realistic marine origami models!

In Fantastic Origami Sea Creatures , Japanese origami expert Hisao Fukui shows you how to create incredibly detailed aquatic wildlife, including a giant squid, prehistoric creatures and even a massive blue whale calf!

The step-by-step folding instructions and photos in this book present 20 challenging and amazingly lifelike models -- from intermediate to complex in terms of their level of difficulty.

The 20 projects in this book include: The Penguin -- A color-change model capturing the awkward and slightly comical appearance of these flightless aquatic birds The Polar Bear -- A menacing hunter who will hungrily stalk the edge of your desk or bookshelf The Goldfish -- This model features elegant lines and clever folding solutions -- and it's difficult to overfeed, to boot! The Crocodile -- A lurking hunter which is ideal for showcasing special papers The Crab -- With all of the legs to define, this model is a challenging one, but with fewer pinch folds than you might expect The Manta Ray -- A graceful and gentle filter feeder whose sweeping wings give you the opportunity to create a truly expressive paper sculpture And many more!

Translation of: Real origami mizu no naka wo oyogu ikimono hen.

Originally published in Japanese as Real origami mizu no naka wo oyogu ikimono hen in 2016.
