| This
page attempts to record what is known about the origin
and history of the design known as the Morning Glory.
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 this design, a circular cut is used to shape the head of the flower. ********** 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.
********** 1935 '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.
********** 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.
