| This
page is being used to collect information about the
history of the origami design known as the Winnowing Box.
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. The Winnowing Box is closely related to the Blintz Box. ********** In Japan (and in publications by Japanese authors) 1878 An illustration of the Winnowing Box appears in 'Yochien Ombutsu No Zu', a publication of kindergarten material issued by the Tokyo Women's Normal School in 1878.
********** This design also appears: 1931 in 'Origami (Part 1)' by Isao Honda, which was published in Japan in 1931.
********** 1944 In 'Origami Shuko' by Isao Honda, which was published in 1944.
********** 1959 As 'A Winnowing Tray' in 'Pocket Guide to Origami: Bow-Wow Book', by Isao Honda, which was published by the Asahi Origami Club, Tokyo in 1959.
********** 1965 In 'The World of Origami' by Isao Honda, which was published in the USA by Japan Publications Trading Company in 1965.
********** In Europe and the Americas 1937 As far as I know the first appearance of this design in the West is as the 'Dustpan' in 'Paper Toy Making' by Margaret Campbell, which was first published by Sir Isaac Pitman and Sons Ltd in London, probably in 1937, although both the Foreword and Preface are dated 1936, which argues that the book was complete at that date.
********** 1956 The design also appears as 'The Dustpan' in 'Paper Magic' by Robert Harbin, which was published by Oldbourne in London in 1956
