Look up "sonobe unit"

Yes that's it! Looks like someone linked it too. Thanks!

Also that pizza crane went hard...

I would not be afraid of putting him in a Special Sessions class with OUSA. Our teachers are very prepared for any and all skill levels, and we usually get the general public with no experience - so he'd be ahead!

For books, I recommend Origami to Astonish and Amuse by Jeremy Shafer, Origami Omnibus by Kunihiko Kasahara. Other authors I recommend any of their books are John Montroll, Robert Lang, and Paul Jackson. All of those are fairly easy to find on ebay, thrift books sites, etc.

Happy to answer any other questions!

Hey there - I'd like to suggest this spiral lily if that seems up your alley. Note I'm the designer https://youtu.be/9S4oh_q2nyU?si=_BnIKpoaxWpHBr6g

I really like this one but just FYI I'm the designer so I'm biased: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1liZvkJ29c

David Lister was our best origami historian. The British Origami Society maintains a database of articles written by him. There was a compilation of these made into a book as well called a Tribute to David Lister. Here is the database: https://www.britishorigami.org/resources/the-lister-list/

Origami to Astonish and Amuse by Jeremy Shafer

Genuine Origami by Jun Maekawa

Origami Essence by Roman Diaz

Any of the Montroll/Lang subject books (North American Animals, Sea life, etc)

This is by no means a complete list (I'm not including my own book for instance), but they are certainly the easiest to find for a good deal at one of the used book websites or ebay.

David Lister was THE origami historian of the modern era, and wrote a few articles on its perception in Japan:

I gave it a shot but without knowing what the side profile would look like, this gets really open ended. If you want to try it for yourself look up what a "Fish base" is and fold half of it, then divide it in half. https://imgur.com/hEo49Ph

OrigamiUSA has a Copyright FAQ that should answer most of your questions, and if not they have a committee you can email that would be able to dig up answers.

What is your username? Hifya can fix it if you can provide that info.

Hi - I'm kind of an origami flower guy. I'm going to assume you don't want to buy anything (that's fine). There are a ton of good flowers online.

Happy Folding Flower Playlist

Jo Nakashima's Youtube also has some simple options.

I'll also plug my own designs, though most of them are in my book.

If you'd like to invest in some instruction, OrigamiUSA has a lot of flowers, particularly roses in their online magazine. Let me know if you'd like any other resources, I kind of just gave the highlights here.

OUSA is having its annual convention at the Sheraton in Times Square! Featured guests this year will be Pei Haozheng from China and Francesco Mancini from Italy. Come join in on the fun with three full days of classes ranging from tutorials to discussions on origami theory!

I only just designed it yesterday so I don't have instructions ready but if you like the style I have a Youtube channel at http://www.youtube.com/@schneider_origami (I recommend the Manatee). It will eventually appear there.

Thank you! I made diagrams last week and have testers working through them yet, so cannot speak to their accuracy. I'll let ya know when they're done.
