Akira Yoshizawa Google Doodle



Akira Yoshizawa A Google Doodle


Akira Yoshizawa was born on March 14, 1911. His parents were dairy farmers, but he moved to Tokyo when he was just 13 years old to take a job in a factory. When he was in his early 20s, he was promoted from his factory worker position to a job as a technical draftsman






As part of his duties, he was responsible for teaching new employees basic geometry. He decided to use origami, which he had learned as a child, as a teaching tool to make these lessons easier to understand.

In 1937, Akira Yoshizawa quit his factory job to practice origami on a full-time basis. He essentially lived in poverty







a master paper folder widely acclaimed as the father of modern origami, died on March 14, his 94th birthday, at a hospital near his home in Ogikubo, a suburb of Tokyo.

The cause was complications of pneumonia, said June Sakamoto, a board member of Origami USA, based in New York.
