Origami Tsuru Rose

Origami Tsuru Rose, Kawasaki Rose Crane
I think for those who have already mastered both, the traditional origami crane and the famous Kawasaki’s Rose, it would be interesting to try this model by  Satoshi Kamiya – which is basically a cross between those two.

It was quite a challenging model actually! The most difficult part for me was not the rose, as one might think, but the neck and tail because there are many layers of paper there and when it comes to folding them the model is 3D and not flat, which make things even trickier.

I would suggest using a rather large sheet of thin or medium-weight paper.  Make a test fold to see how you can improve your final fold.

    • Thank you Vera!
      I was so glad to find this diagram at your blog, thanks for sharing!

  2. I love this diagram and cannot wait to start on it. It is so beautfiul. I cannot read Spanish but I think I can figure most of it out but can you please tell me if the beginning is supposed to be colour side up or down? It would be very helpful! Thanks so much.

    • In the diagram the light yellow color represents the colored side of the paper so start with the color side up!

  3. helo, can you make a video of you doing a Tsuru Rose on youtube?? this is to hard for me but i realy wanna know how to do this origami.
    thanks for the atention end congratulations for the site.

    • Hi Rafael! I never do videos because it’s not only time-consuming but one should actually get a permission from the author to make a video in the first place!
      Have you tried folding Kawasaki Rose before? There are plenty of tutorials on the net for it (all unauthorized BTW). If you learn the rose first, the Rose Crane will be much more easier.
