The St Louis Post Dispatch of 21 Jan 1962 contained an article about a Mrs Gordon of New York illustrated with pictures of Yoko Ono. The text explains that Mrs Gordon works for Japan Society, Inc and is presumably promoting origami on their behalf.

It is of interest that in the step by step photos Yoko is folding a penguin created by Giuseppe Baggi, which clearly raises the possibility that they may have been acquainted.

The text at the bottom left of this page says: ON THE COVER - An origami zoo made of expertly folded paper. In the foreground, a ferociously pink bulldog challenges a majestic purple bull as an alert yellow tiger cautiously keeps an eye on both contestants. Watching from further back are a blue rooster, brown elephant, silver peacock. Flying serenely overhead are two cranes.'

I have not seen a copy of this cover illustration.
