| This
page is being used to collect information about the
history of folded Raccoon-Dog Belly-Drums / Tanuki no
Harazutsumi . 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. ********** 1885 A design for a 'tanuki' (raccoon dog) appears in 'Kindergarten Shoho' (Preliminary Kindergarten) by Iijima Hanjuro, which was copyrighted on October 4th Meiji 17 (1884) and published by Fukuda Senzo in August of Meiji 18 (1885). It is worth noting, however, that this same design is interpreted as a crab in 'Kani Shukogaku' (Simple Handicraft) by Tamotsu Shibue, which was published in Tokyo in 1892.
********** 1960 This design for a heavily cut 'Badger-Teakettle' appears in 'Origami Storybook' by Florence Sakade, which was published by Charles Tuttle and Company Ltd in Tokyo and Vermont in 1960
