As most of you know I research and record information about the history of paperfolding.
I am wondering if anyone has any information about the history or origin of Chinese Lucky Stars? I have not managed to find the design in any published books or even articles ... though, of course, such publications may exist. If you know of any, please let me know. The pentagonal knot from which these stars are developed is, of course, of some age. What I know about this design, in both Japan and Western Europe, is recorded on my page http://www.origamiheaven.com/historyofthepentagonalknot.htm I would be very grateful for any new information that anyone can offer me. Thanks Dave
