I am currently reading the biography of Chinese acrobat and magician
Long Tack Sam written by his great granddaughter Ann Marie Fleming.
On page 9 is a small crude origami diagram of something she folded as
a child which she called either a "bra" or a "hat"
The book is a follow up to her documentary film she made on Long Tack
Sam (1884-1961) that I saw back in 2003. It is a wonderfully
constructed film and with a combination of animation and vintage
footage and it contains the same humor and irony as in her book.
Here's the book: http://www.amazon.com/Magical-Life-Long-Tack-Sam/dp/

Here's the movie: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0379360/
