Michel Grand has pointed out to me that diagrams are also in the book 'Noshi' 
by Isao Honda, published, I think in 1964, where he calls it a Tortoise-Shell 
(because it is kind of hexagonal in shape).

Honda says nothing about its origin.

I thought at first this settled the matter and that it was therefore not by 
Yoshizawa. Then I remembered the dreaded Honda / Yoshizawa controversy which, 
as far as I know, has never been successfully resolved.

Nothing is ever simple ...
