While Levy works with coins, Hasegawa Yosuke, who the next artist I want to introduce, works with paper money.

Hasegawa Yosuke, a Japanese money origami artist and CG illustrator, is born in Tokyo, Japan. He has begun money origami-so called moneygami- since 2006. He also published How to Make Money Origami Book in 2007.

Not only just folding money, Hasegawa Yosuke also makes collages by using his origami. He put his moneygami work- usually figures wearing hat- on paintings or photos. His collage works are amusing. Prominent figures of their time become characters of cartoons. Sometimes, these powerful figures appear as teenagers or hip-hop followers. Thus, his origami works are so humorous and fantastic works.
