In "Complete Origami", Eric Kenneway provides a quotation of Kunio Ekiguchi from his (Kunio's) book "Gift Wrapping" (p.7), as an introduction to the entry "Wrapping" (p.188) The first model presented, "How to make an unsealed wrapper", is uncredited. The other, a "seed packet" is presented as traditional, transmitted by Marlene Stroud who learnt it in Germany. The first model (given 2 stars out of 4 for difficulty) doesn't appear in Kunio Ekiguchi's book, which invites to generous use of tape. The model in question has also been published by ELFA in their Envelope and letter folding 2nd edition, an encyclopedia of hand-folded communications 1991 (John Cunliffe). The name is "Wrapper" presented together with a magic variation (-: Last but not least, Complete Origami provides the title of a third book for the eager gift-wrapper : Gift Wrapping by Adelaide & Josephine Shaw, Arco NY 1974. P.S. Paul Jackson and Miri Golan also published a booklet (of which I own the Hebrew version) for gift wrapping. Translated in English the title would be "Packaging design and folding boxes". To finish : yes, the box that Dassa showed is what I had in mind. Wishing you a jolly 2014 Claire
