"Kusudama are elaborate geodesic spheres assembled from many small folded pieces of paper. They were originally used to hold incense in Japanese Buddhist temples. Modern Kusudama consist of dozens of colorful papers folded and fitted together to form ornate spherical sculptures. The book provides clear diagrams and detailed, step-by-step photos and instructions making this technique accessible to anyone even if you have no prior origami paper folding experience"-- adapted from Amazon.com
