| This
page attempts to record what is known about the origin
and history of the designs known as the Morning Glory
(Cut) and Carnation (Cut). 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 the Morning Glory design, a circular cut is used to shape the head of the flower. In the Carnation the cut is more complex and is used to create a ragged edge. A version of the fold without cuts can be used to create a Hydrangea. ********** 1931 As far as I know this cut design first appears in 'Origami (Part 1)' by Isao Honda, which was published in Japan in 1931.
********** The design also appears: 1935 In 'Origami Moyo, Book Two' by Kawarazaki Kodo, which was published in Japan in 1935, contains a print titled 'asagao' (which means 'morning glory') and is probably meant to illustrate this design.
********** 1944 In 'Origami Shuko' by Isao Honda, which was published in 1944.
********** 1957 Both the 'Morning Glory' and the 'Carnation' appear as 'Flowers' in 'Origami: Book One' by Florence Sakade, which was published by the Charles E Tuttle Company in Rutland, Vermont and Tokyo in 1957.
********** 1965 The Morning Glory also appears in 'The World of Origami' by Isao Honda, which was published in the USA by Japan Publications Trading Company in 1965.
The Independent Creativity chapter shows how a 'Carnation' can be made by varying the shape of the cut.
********** 1968 'Origami in the Classroom: Book 2: Activities for winter through summer' by Chiyo Araki, which was published by Charles E Tuttle Co Inc in 1968, contains diagrams for both the Carnation and the Moring Glory and uses the uncut version to create a Hydrangea'
