Form of Paper
紙のフォルム by 尾川宏 Tanikawa Ogawa

The used book I bought in tortoise.
When I found this book I felt that I'm so so lucky!

















.............................................................................................................................

so I've made several of them. I made it into a lamp. I'm still trying to figure out which paper works best for this. Will keep making and share more later.




Some more details about this book.
The book I got is published in 1967 and there is no ISBN NO.

But I found this book in the japanese yahoo and this one is published in 1989. I think this is the newer version.
ISBN 978-4-7630-8903-8 （4-7630-8903-X）

*( I just found that most of big universities libraries own this book in Taiwan and it's already translated into Chinese!! You are lucky if you are living in Taiwan. I think I'm going to look for this book and some other Taniwaka books when I go back to Taiwan next time.)
