Senbazuru Orikata Views
The best known origami design is the crane, and in fact the oldest surviving book on origami is the Hiden Senbazuru Orikata (How to Fold One Thousand Cranes). The book begins with basic instructions for folding the origami crane. With beautiful calligraphy and illustrations, it then shows dozens of ways to fold many cranes from one sheet of paper. In these multi-crane folds, the sheet is cut into small squares which remain joined by thin strips at the corners. Then the dexterous artist folds the individual cranes without tearing the strips.
