one of the world's leading origami experts, having published over
20 books on the subject. Fumiaki is an avid proponent of the art of
origami in Japan, and he specializes in creating fun and
easy-to-fold original origami models.
Although originally trained as a painter, Shingu became interested
in sculpture when he saw one of his shaped canvases turning softly
in the wind. The work that followed relied on natural forces to
make it move or make sound, and he began using more sophisticated
materials for outdoor works. By the time of Expo '70 in Osaka,
Shingu had been commissioned to create a piece for the plaza. It
contained many of the elements he would use later: parts of it were
moved by both wind and water, in some ways harnessing their power
but also buffeted by it. His work walks the fine line between
complementing nature and being an integral part of it. The pieces,
though large, colorful, and usually made of modern materials, adopt
nature's rhythms in their movement. Shingu's sculpture is found
around the world, from Japan to France, Italy, and the United
States. In addition to creating sculptures, he has written and
illustrated several children's books and designed several theater
pieces that integrate his sculptures and installations with
dramatic stories. All of these endeavors are collected here - along
with the artist's comments on many of the sculptures, essays by
Pierre Restany and Renzo Piano, and an interview with Joseph
Giovannini - in a monograph that provides a complete portrait of
Shingu's diverse career.
