The Origami Forum

Does anyone know if Gen Hagiwara has plans to release diagrams for this amazing chipmunk? http://gen-h.deviantart.com/art/Origami ... -485479634 I thought I read somewhere that he was putting together a book...

You could probably ask him. I don't know how much of an issue any language barrier would be though.
Personally I would love to see diagrams for it as well.

Yes, Gen Hagiwara is collaborating with Nicolas Terry on making a book. Given that his chipmunk is certainly one of his best models I would be rather surprised if it wouldn't find its way into the book.
From my one time contacting him to get permission to make a video instruction for his brilliant rabbit, I found him to be very kind. Given that he lives in Australia his English seems to be very good.

Two possible contacts. Gen Hagiwara, as suggested. But, you might also contact Nicolas Terry ... I know he would love the opportunity to start promoting the book, and getting interest from folders.... without trying to seem pushy

Ha, I thought I read it somewhere: http://snkhan.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php ... 60#p138960

it's interesting he isn't doing this through gallery origami house. he's always in the nationals section of tanteidan. is he native japanese, but lives in australia?

Don't know, but I guess so.
