[Origami] 12th Origami Tanteidan Convention Book and a modular by Fumiaki Kawahata

[gera...@neorigami.com]

HELLO EVERYONE
Might one of you have the 12th Origami Tanteidan Convention Book from 2004? 
According to Gilad's database, starting on page 102, you'll find diagrams for 
three six-unit modulars created by Fumiaki Kawahata. Now I want to know if, 
according to that book, each one of the three has a different name. I'm 
particularly interested in the one with all the accordion folds.
If you do have the book, would you please share with me a picture of the 
begining of the diagrams for that particular model? I'll use Google Lens to try 
to translate its name.
You can email the picture to gerardo(a)neorigami.com

Thank you so much in advance!

Gershon Legman purchased a set and sent it to Ligia Montoya in Argentina. 
Ligia’s sister kept the books after she died. One of these copies rests at the 
Museo del Origami in Colonia, Uruguay.

It would be great to see more of the Tress collection digitised.

Digital copies of both Origami Moyo volumes ... in a larger format ...  are 
however already available in the Pulverer Collection ... see 
https://pulverer.si.edu/node/787/title?f%5B0%5D=dateNormalized%3A1935

(Incidentally I have looked through the entire Pulverer collection and taken 
copies of all the prints relating to origami, of which there are many. Not all 
of these are yet integrated into the pages on my site, however.)

Hmmm ... yes. I have recorded what I know, or can find out, about Origami Moyo 
... but the pages still need a lot of work. If anyone can help identify the 
designs, or anyone who speaks Japanese can help me add further information 
about the page titles, that would be great. 

Incidentally, Origami Moyo was known to Gershon Legman in 1952 and was included 
in his bibliography.

[Origami] 1935 book Origami moyō / by Kawarasaki Kodo cho -- now digitized by UPenn Libraries; exhibition and symposium on Japanese illustrated books and Tress Collection

[Karen Reeds via Origami]

September 23, 2022

Here's a visual treat: a digitized copy of a beautiful accordion-fold
origami book from 1935, now in the Tress Collection, University of
Pennsylvania Libraries, Philadelphia. The curator, Lynne Farrington, tells
me that only a small part of the collection has been fully catalogued and
even less digitized so far, so there may well be more origami.

Meanwhile, there's an exhibition and an upcoming virtual/in-person
symposium about the collector, the photographer Arthur Tress, and his
collection (see announcement below).

[Origami] Squash folds via remote teaching

[bjdumd (null) via Origami]

I still smile at the Zoom teacher who said to “pick your nose” to do a squash. 
Another said to “smash” the point. I do agree that knowing what’s coming can 
make things better for remote students.
