Shuzo Fupimece
Design and art work by John Smith Preface
| have long admired the work of Shuzo Fujimoto one of
the great mastere of Origami.
Ravi Apte (do look at his valuable web site, [Link]) ,
introduced me to the Hydrangea by Fujimoto, and |
determined to try and fold it.
| must pay tribute to Thoki Yen who showed in BOS booklet
13, how to fold his Crossed Box Pleat, which |s the start of
the Hydrangea. To make It easy for myself | made a few
changes to the methods which Ravi uses, but | am in
essence following his important work.
| wanted information 60 that | could remember how |
managed to fold the flower . | have used a new approach to
produce the following SDdiagrams and | hope they may be
of help to other folders.

based on the procedures by Thoki Yenn and and Ravi Apte.
