it's clear that it's a container, it's pretty much flat, and it's decorative. Is that all? I have the following questions regarding tato: 1. Does a tato closes over its center or do they sometimes also close by one of its edges for example? 2. Is a tato folded from a regular polygon (square, pentagon, hexagon, etc.) or are they sometimes folded from rectangles or equilateral straight triangles? 3. Is a tato's resulting shape that of a regular polygon or do they sometimes end up with sides of different lengths? 4. Is a tato simetrical, being its right half a mirror image of what's in its left half, or are they sometimes asimetrical? 5. To open a tato do you pull opposite flaps or tips or can you sometimes open it by pulling a single flap or tip? Can you please help me by answering those five questions? That way I can have a better idea to propose for the challenge.
I believe if you read further, David Lister’s article answers some of the tato questions you posed ( http://www.britishorigami.info/academic/lister/tato_folds.php ) Also, have you looked into kamon-ori? It m a y be a name that differentiates the pinwheel type tato. OriFUN to all, Dianne
