Model Cipher

Model Cipher

Series : Cipher Series
Parts : 60
Joint with glue

This model is a law of a constant folding, and it doesn't depend on to be used paper's shape.
So, the model accepts what is folded with paper of various form.
For example, a circular form, a form of the flower, a form of the heart, a form of the spade...and so on. The model doesn't need to cut papers to make square.

You can see these big photos in my gallery.

And the diagram is already open to public on the net.

Can you "decipher" the "model cipher"?

--Hints--
1. Number of part is 60.
2. The basic polyhedron is a regular dodecahedron.
3. This model has another pattern.

What is a kusudama?

What is a Kusudama?

Even if you haven't seen a dinosaur so far, and have a chance to see kind of this work, maybe you won't think that a dinosaur is made from a origami paper.
Because you know what the dinosaur is by TV, books, movies...etc...could be.
A dinosaur is an ancient animal, and it is made with bones and blood and meat... etc (sorry, I don't know detail), so it's not a thing made from paper.

------------------

But if you see this work of photo, you may think a kusudama is made with (origami) papers.
Because you don't know what kusudama is.

Origami is technique to express form of something (for example, animal and plant and accessory...and so on) with papers.
Kusudama origami is a thing which express an kusudama with origami papers.

So, this is a point.
---What is the kusudama?

Kusudama is one of the ornament made with some harbs or flowers(iris, Japanese iris, Citrus tachibana...etc).
It means to prays for longevity and prays for a good health and prays for good luck(fortune), also it means a blessing for every thing...

It is the manners and customs that came from China about 1200 years ago.
You can see the detail in this page about what is kusudama.

Also, it may helps more your understanding.

Japanese--薬玉

And it is rare to be used with real herbs and flowers to make a work now, and artificial flowers (or something which resembles it) are used instead.
Kusudama Origami is one of it.

---reference
You can see kusudamas made with various materials.

p.s.
If a Japanese heard a word of "kusudama", most people don't imagine work made with origami papers.
They imagine it.

Kind of the kusudama has a nice trick, and it is used to congratulate or to celebrate.

I found it in youtube.

The chopstick rest of the squid
(C)Katsuhisa Yamada

paper : 1
paper's size 15cm
Diagram--atelier excite

It's very few I fold the animals or something which made with one paper during one year.
This is a squid Ms. Yamada created, and I made it in 15/Apr. It's so beautiful shape and folding is fun.
There was opportunity I and he exhibit origami works in same place-Warabekan in last year. But unfortunately, I didn't have a enough time, and I couldn't see my works and his works.
I saw some his works in his site, it's humorous and is easy to get close. I like them very much.

箸置きとありますが、私にはムリ。15cmで折って、なんだかマウスカバーみたいになっちまいました。ほほほ。
折り方でぐるりとひっくり返すところが、烏賊の皮をひんむいているようで、思わず、おおおぉ~!!!
感動です。

Go! Go! GAINARE!!

parts :
Hexagon--20, base--80
paper size :
Hexagon--7.5cm, base--3.75cm

joined with glue

GAINARE is the amateur soccer team in my hometown (Tottori). They aim at becoming the professional (J.League ) and fight now. I support it very much!!



This polyhedron is the totally same as the work of the last article, Truncated Icosahedron. But it's easier to understand what form is it, isn't it?
I made the Truncated Icosahedron again (used same parts, also it's used for regular icosahedron), and just put and pasted the 20 hexagons which was made with one piece of paper on it with glue.


ゴー!ゴー!ガイナーレ!!
パーツ : 六角形--20 , 土台--60
紙のサイズ : 六角形--7.5cm , 土台--3.75cm
ジョイント材 : 接着剤。

ガイナーレは鳥取県のサッカーチーム。今、Jリーグを目指してがんばってるんだな。で、応援してこの作品を作ってみました。

実は前回の記事の作品と全く同じ形。『 切頂二十面体 』などと言うと、何やら むずかしげ(←鳥取弁)な感じだけど、ようはサッカーボールのことなんだな。
前回と同じパーツ(正二十面体にも使われているパーツ)を使って同じ切頂二十面体を作り(とどのつまり同じ作品)、一枚で折った六角形を上にペタッとしただけ。
ちょー簡単。
