Re: [Origami] Name of this preliminary base flower and of its creator?
Yesterday I also shared with all of you a picture of a flower folded from a preliminary base and asked for its name and creator. Anna replied the following: "Given the simplicity of the model, I'm pretty sure that many people independently discovered that flower design. Putting it down to a specific creator will be almost impossible". Thank you Anna for your answer. Being that the case, I'll be happy with just knowing who has been attributed as the creator whether on books or on the web and what names have been given to the flower on those sources. : ) -- Gerardo G. gerardo(a)neorigami.com Knowledge and Curiosity in Origami: six private classes online
[Origami] The name of these tato and are they all really traditional?
I shared with you a picture of origami tato and asked for their names and to please confirm if they were all traditional or not. Thanks to Mathew Green, I now know that according to the book “Secrets of Origami” (1971) by Robert Harvin, the one on the bottom of the picture is attributed to Akira Yoshizawa and titled "Novelty purse". I wanted to ask you, is there any reason for me to think the book is wrong? I own a copy of "Complete Origami" (1987) by Eric Kenneway. It has diagrams for that same tato but the book doesn't attribute it to anyone. That's why I wanted to ask. The one on the top of the picture I shared yesterday, is declared a traditional model according to, once again, "Secrets of Origami" by Harbin. It's named "Japanese Purse", so I assume many simply call it tato. I can imagine someone translating "tato" to "Japanese purse". And I still need help with the tato in the middle of the picture. Might one of you know if they have specific names other than simply "tato"? Also, are they both traditional models? Or, if they aren't, who created each one? Thank you in advance. *--* *Gerardo G.* gerardo(a)neorigami.com Knowledge and Curiosity in Origami: six private classes online
