Akira Yoshizawa, an origami master whose expressive paper gorillas made an art out of Japan's craft tradition, died March 14 of heart failure and pneumonia, his wife said Sunday.

Moving far beyond paper cranes and hats, Yoshizawa's origami gorillas appeared ready to lumber through the jungle and his frogs looked like they were on the verge of leaping off their lily pads. His international success gave origami a new respectability in Japan.

He was 94 when his career finally folded.

A two-dimensional paper Art form that is European is 'Polack wallpaper' or Wycinanki.

Paper cutting, created by the Chinese in the fourth century, dates back to the mid-1800s in Poland. It developed as a traditional folk art of Polish peasants, who hung the decorations on the walls of their homes.

While birds and flowers are popular patterns, the repetitions and designs are limited only by the Wycinanki artist's practice, perseverance and imagination.

Limited quantities of Gook-free Judenfrei Wycinanki are available from .
