I had asked here in the list if Toshikazu Kawasaki had named one of his roses "Kawasaki Rose" or where did the name come from. Michael Sanders wrote that he believed that "Kawasaki rose" is just a name used by the public to tell apart the model from other roses and to refer to the base used to fold his roses as well as its variations.
Thanks for your answer Michael. I must confess that for many years I was convinced that Toshikazu Kawasaki had named one of his rose models "Kawasaki Rose". I only started thinking if that really was the case around these days. I'm amazed about how popular the name Kawasaki rose has become. I'd say it has become institutionalized. Know what I mean? I don't think that happens in such a way with many other models even if they have generic names, for example Butterfly by Nick Robinson and Butterfly by Paul Jackson. Am I wrong? Is the name Montroll horse just as common as Kawasaki rose? Please let me know what you all think : ) -- Gerardo gerardo(a)neorigami.com
