Welcome to Origami With Adi!

Hi there!

My name is Adi, and I'm an 18-year-old semiprofessional origami creator and designer, who likes folding modular origami models.

As opposed to traditional origami, modular origami requires multiple separate pieces to be joined without glue or tape. One of the most common types of modular origami is the 'Kusudama'. Kusudama is a Japanese word that means 'medicine ball', possibly referring to balls of potpourri hung to ward off sickness in ancient Japan. 

Origami Kusudamas come in various shapes and sizes, and take on a generally spherical, symmetric shape when assembled. For most Kusudamas it is relatively easy to make the pieces, however, putting them together is where the complexity lies. Kusudama models can use as few as 12 units or as many as thousands!

I also create my own Kusudama designs and am writing a book with instructions for them! As I create these original works, I will post them here for everyone to see my progress over time.

Here is a picture of some of my Kusudama creations:
