description Fuse's Hexagonal Box Overview
Tomoko Fuse is a Japanese origami artist whose work since the 1980s has established her as a leading figure in modular (unit) origami, in which multiple folded pieces interlock to form geometric structures. Her Hexagonal Box exemplifies her approach to functional origami containers, using folded units assembled into a six-sided vessel with a fitted lid. Fuse has authored numerous books on modular origami, boxes, and geometric forms, published in both Japanese and English. The design is suited for practitioners interested in the structural and decorative possibilities of assembled paper units.
