The Nesting Crane | |||||||
This
page attempts to record what is known about the origin
and history of the origami design known as the Nesting
Crane. 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 Japan (and in publications by Japanese authors) 1905 As far as I know this design first appears in 'Shukouka Kyohon : Liron Jishuu Souga Setsumei' by Kikujiro Kiuchi, Rokushiro Uehara and Hideyoshi Okayama, which was published by Shigebei Takase in Chiba in 1905. ********** The same design also appears: 1931 In 'Origami (Part 1)' by Isao Honda, which was first published in Japan in 1931. ********** 1965 This design also appears in 'The World of Origami' by Isao Honda, which was published in the USA by Japan Publications Trading Company in 1965. ********** In Western Europe and the Americas 1963 A 'Swan' which appears to be a simplified version of the Nesting Crane, appears in the second edition of 'Het Grote Vouwboek' by Aart van Breda, which was published by Uitgeverij van Breda in 1963. ********** |
