"…the coolest book ever…Each full-page spread that follows shows a
typical scene from Tokyo…from bright lights, to temples, a sumo
match, train station, onsen, and more…Sam Ita has done a very good
job with the Tokyo Pop-Up Book, indeed, he is a paper engineer to
design all the details and have so many pop-up elements on each
page that truly shows Tokyo at its finest." --Castle View Academy

"If you enjoy pop-up books, you will love the scenes in this book.
I was very impressed with the details and the vibrant scenes on
each page. Plus, there are so many things to see throughout the
book that it really is so much more than a book to read." --In Our
