About the Vietnam Origami Group (VOG)
VOG stands for Vietnam Origami Group - a group that gathers Vietnamese people who share a passion of paper folding. Founded on March 17, 2005, with active and vibrant online forum, VOG became the first community of its kind in Vietnam, assembling together enthusiastic creators dedicated to the art of origami.

In addition to sharing knowledge and understanding of the techniques of origami and introducing original origami models among domestic members, VOG also interacts with the international origami community through competitions, exhibitions, and publications conducted in many countries around the world.

The Dream of VOG
The publication is initiated and executed by a VOG thoroughly passionate about paper folding, with the hope that it not be exclusive to the origami community only but will also to contribute to the rich, colorful, and humanistic world of traditional and contemporary handicraft lovers in Vietnam; that it opens up possibilities and opportunities to connect various ideas on applying artistic folding in practical fields and activities in life.
The project production team hopes that the book will bear the mark of the community, as it is only through the community's resources that we can complete a first rate publication. The quality of the book is the fulcrum that will help us VOG to confidently and proudly tell the story of Vietnamese Origami Art to our international friends, while also realizing our future dream of using origami to explore and share our love for the rich cultural identity of Vietnam.
