The ABCs of Origami by Claude Sarasas, 1964
 
'The ABCs of Origami' by Claude Sarasas was published by Charles E Tuttle in San Francisco in 1964.

This work is a republication of the book 'Folding Paper for Children: Origami' by Claude Sarasas, originally published by Kodansha in Tokyo in 1951. As far as I know, except for the addition of a new Introduction by Lillian Oppenheimer (and the omission of the original by the author) the content is the same as that of the original work.

The work is an illustrated alphabet book of Japanese origami designs in a variety of styles, the primary language of the alphabet being English, but the names of the designs also being given in French and Japanese.
