also don't forget to add Max Hulme and Iris Walker to that list. They are two extremely prolific folders with some absolutely amazing models that are often overlooked perhaps because many of their fantastic models wer designed so long ago. Max Hulme, is, in the words of BOS president Dave Venables, "probably the most prolific folder ever to come out of the UK".akugami wrote:canada: joseph wu and quentin trollip

May I add myself to the Canada list? I must've designed over 100 models or so.
Who's up for enumerating all prolific Japanese folders?

Cheers to another Canadian folder, Sunburst!
Also to add to Canada: Joseph Wu has folded many. Maybe not a lot shown on his website but I follow his Facebook and he seems to design a lot.
EDIT: Whoops, sorry never saw someone else post Joseph Wu.

Well, I don't know who's counting, but aside from being the father of modern origami, Akira Yoshizawa created 10's of THOUSANDS of original models, so although there's no exact number, he's go to be at the top of the list. Surprised no one mentioned that yet.
