Re: [Origami] not quite origami -- beautiful antiquarian Japanese papermaking

[Chamberlain, Clare]

In response to Karen's note about this beautiful book, I used to collect 
folk-toys, particularly paper ones, when living in Japan. I have one of these 
paper tiger 'boxes. It has a bivalve shell affixed to each corner, so when you 
fan it, it 'dances'. I think I got it in the far north of Honshu (main island), 
and was told it was a traditional toy of the area.

Cheers

Clare, Perth Origami Group

(I didn't see any origami as such in this antiquarian bookdealer's catalogue, 
except perhaps for a paper-tiger box in this wonderful set of pictures of 
Japanese toys, each page with its own animal theme:

Hi Bernie,

have you seen my video on Robin Scholz's Triphilia? I go into some depth as
to how I like to perform clean triangle twists there.
