    Its also the birthday and death day of Akira Yoshizawa, the grandmaster of Origami who rose the craft to an art form.

    Also if you manage to die on the day of your birth by natural causes at 94 I think you deserve extra credit.

    The art is honored for his incredible work standardizing it, he really was a treasure
