Hi everyone. A friend and I were in a discussion. He stated that the rabbit I'm attaching is by Kunihiko Kasahara, and he learned how to fold it about 25 years ago from one of Mr. Kasahara's books, but he doesn't remember which one. I instead declared it's by Stephen O'Hanlon. Here are diagrams on Mr. O'Hanlon's website: http://www.fishgoth.com/origami/anidiag.html Wait a minute... to the right of the picture of the Rabbit folds it says: "(...) This design owes a lot to the origami of Kunihiko Kasahara (...)". So, what does that mean? Might it just be a variation of a rabbit model by Mr. Kasahara? I looked on Gilad's Origami Page for rabbit models created by Mr. Kasahara. It seems like he created more than one, but unfortunately most of them don't include pictures on the website: https://www.giladorigami.com/origami-database/Rabbit%20Kunihiko%20Kasahara I also found instructional videos teaching how to fold the rabbit claiming it was created by Mr. Kasahara. I'm not linking them here because they don't mention being authorized by Mr. Kasahara to upload those videos. Unfortunately, they don't say from which book is the model from. And I found diagrams in Japanese for the model through a Google Image search, but I think it's pirated content, so I won't link it here either. I couldn't know from what book did those diagrams come from. The diagrams are in color, the steps are in blue and white and there's a photograph of the finished model: a white rabbit on a purple background with the inside of his ears in blue. So that's why I'm now contacting all of you. Can you please help us solve this mystery? Do any of you have proof that Mr. Kasahara created the model? For example, do you own the book with his diagrams? Or, do you know what Mr. O'Hanlon meant with that phrase I quoted above? Or, can you at least help me contact him? Thank you in advance!
