Kamiya began designing origami models in 1995, and has since published hundreds of creations.
[1] Kamiya has drawn inspiration for his designs from manga, nature, and both eastern and western mythologies.
Many of Kamiya's origami designs are complex; his Divine Dragon and Ancient Dragon models require around 275 steps each and need to be made from at least 50 cm squares of thin paper or foil.
One of his notable designs is the Ryu-Zin 3.5, an elaborate dragon covered with scales and having feelers, claws, and horns.
