: Hi there!
: I am a big fan of Hokusai and origami, and I am asking for your assistance about the following questions:
: 1/ A beautiful Hokusai manga shows a man throwing a couple pieces of paper in the air and these papers become a pair of flying cranes.
: But this picture is only a part of the manga. Where and how would it be possible to see the whole manga, and get info about it?
: 2/ Do you know of any other representation of origami?
: Thanks in advance.
