Four Rhombi | |||||||
This page contains
information about the origami design known as Four
Rhombi, which could be considered to be a Froebelian Form
of Beauty made from a Windmill Base, although it occurs
as a separate design in its own right. Please contact me
if you know any of this information is incorrect or if
you have any other information that should be added.
Thank you. ********** In China (and in publications by Chinese authors) 1914 Diagrams for the design, titled 'Four Rhombi', appear in 'Zhe zhi tu shuo' (Illustrated Paperfolding), compiled by Gui Shaolie, which was published by the Commercial Press in Shanghai in Ming guo 3 (1914). ********** In Japan (and in books by Japanese authors) 1904 A drawing of the design appears in 'Shukouka Kyoju Shishin: Maiji Haitou' by Hyojiro Nakagaki, which was published by Kenseikai in Tokyo in 1904. ********** 1905 The design also appears in 'Shukoka Kyoju Saian' by Gentaro Tanahashi and Hideyoshi Okayama, which was published by Hobunkan in Tokyo in 1905. ********** |
