Just saw the doodle, brightened my day.
And then I bothered all my non-origamist friends with my excitement.

Happy birthday Yoshizawa, I only just realized that he is credited for inventing wet folding. I remember seeing a photo of his ram in Paul Jackson's Encyclopedia of origami nearly a decade ago and being totally awestruck; Just gorgeous and pushing the limit in realism in origami.
