Better to die sharp in war than rust through a time of peace.A mother struggling to repress her violent past, A son struggling to grasp his violent future, A father blind to the danger that threatens them all. When the winds of war reach their peninsula, will the Matsuda family have the strength to defend their empire? Or will they tear each other apart before the true enemies even reach their shores?High on a mountainside at the edge of the Kaigenese Empire live the most powerful warriors in the world, superhumans capable of raising the sea and wielding blades of ice.

Tessellations are a special genre of geometric origami in which beautiful repetitive patterns are folded from a single sheet of paper. It may seem impossibly complex to the untrained eye, yet master origami artist Ilan Garibi has broken the process down into the simplest of steps. The result: tessellations, well, for everyone! Each design is presented in three sections: the single molecule (the basic structure), a 2 by 2-molecule project, and finally a 4 by 4-molecule project. It’s a gradual process that enables the reader to learn by doing, with expert coaching all along the way. Instructions for 32 models are included; almost all are original works by Ilan Garibi, one of the most well-known origami tessellators in the world—and one of the few full-time origami artists. Garibi started to create tessellations ten years ago and since then has designed more than 100 unique models. This book is focused on square-grid based tessellations and presents some of his most unique models. The boo
