With the MaMo Nouchies, Maurer and Dagmar Mombach, who developed the technique for transforming the paper; all performed by hand according to the Japanese tradition, involves the manipulation of plain sheets of paper, by pulling and folding. Often up to eight separate treatments are needed to create the desired effect.
