Fujimoto’s Five Books are now Public Domain via Origami by Michał Kosmulski [Shared]

Yesterday, during an online event dedicated to Shuzo Fujimoto, I was happy to announce that his children, Hitoshi Fujimoto and Shumi Okada, being his heirs, have agreed to release his five self-published books to the Public Domain. This means that you can now copy, distribute, and use the contents of these books without any restrictions (certain limitations may still apply in some jurisdictions).

We made the books available in PDF format for anyone to download for free — visit each book’s page to find additional information and a link to the PDF:

The top right book has a gray cover with a geometric pattern and orange text. The bottom row consists of three books with yellow and light green covers, each displaying intricate geometric designs and diagrams related to origami. The left book is titled "トライメイプル (1)" (Try Maple (1)), the middle "布(リ)折り (12)" (Cloth Folding (12)), and the right "なにさり折り (3)" (Nanisari Folding (3)). Each book cover includes line drawings of origami models and patterns, indicating their focus on geometric and mathematical aspects of origami.
