Print by Utagawa Hiroshige, c1844
 

This print, which is said to date from between 1830 and 1844 (see here), shows children folding origami designs. The child on the right is holding a Paper Crane. Other finished designs, an Inflatable Frog, a Collapsible Box and a Kabuto, lie on the floor.

My thanks to Roxane Platt for drawing this print to my attention.
