March 14 – May 24, 2026
special-exhibition
Akira Yoshizawa (1911–2005) was a pioneering origami artist who elevated Japanese origami to the level of art and spread it worldwide as ORIGAMI.
This exhibition is presented as a revival of the 2017 exhibition, ORIGAMI: The eyes of Akira Yoshizawa who has god in his hands, which was warmly received by many visitors.
On display are works exhibited at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam in 1955—an event that marked the beginning of international recognition for Yoshizawa—alongside a selection of his most outstanding works created over the course of his 94-year life.
