Yes, it´s a little variation of the simple Kawasaki-Rose (The edges are folded outwards instead of inwards).

Hi i'm new and i have been trying the kawasaki rose by C.A. Furuti. I just don't get the second to last step (14). It never stays together. I cant "iterweave the calyx".

hey anna, I'm not seeing the video

What is the step that most ppl are having trouble with? Is it the curling into a cyclinder? I always thought locking the base was the hardest. One should get it after the 2 attempts though.

C.A. Furuti? Can you post up the link to the diagrams? Ok how about this- I'll post up the step by step picture files that really helped me made the rose.

that's the direct link to it.

Remember the new Kawasaki takes patience and careful folding. But once you fold one you can fold many many more with ease

Just study the pictures and look at the diagrams included inside. I think the main question to ask when folding with the photos is, "How do I get my model to look like that step?" Position your model to match exactly with the photos and in no time you should have it done

It´s not the new Kawasaki-Rose he´s having troubles with but this one:

It´s neither the old nor the new one, it´s a variation.
I believe that their is a mistake in the diagrams that makes it impossible to finish it the right way, but I could be false. Their is a very clear drawn diagram for the same rose in Kawasaki´s "Roses, Origami and Math" that works pretty good, but I can´t finish the rose using the above mentioned diagrams by C.A. Furuti.

I would say the old one because it doesn´t need so much precreasing like the new one.

where is a link for the old and new kawasaki rose?

Post by **origami_8** » October 15th, 2005, 1:03 am

There aren´t diagrams for the old one available over internet, if you wanna try the original version you have to buy a book ("Origami for the Connoiseur" for example). I think the closest available for free are the instuctions on http://danoftoasters.org/?sample=no&page=3 . Also check out this thread: http://snkhan.co.uk/phpBB2/viewtopic.ph ... in&start=0

Instructions for the new Kawasaki-Rose can be found here: http://www.ensc.sfu.ca/undergrad/euss/e ... page6.html

There are a lot of Variations out there, like this one: http://www.themountainfold.com/themount ... /rose.html

i got the book Roses, Origami, and Math and tried the rose. I completed the "rose bud" but am stuck on the rose. I dont get step 31 and on.

Watch the above video, it shows how to go on after precreasing (following the Chan Diagrams!) until step 41 of the book, so the final shaping isn´t shown, but the requested steps.

Some "new" Kawasaki roses I have folded from various kinds of paper. Yes, I know, some of them could use more smoothing.

Beautiful, I like the first one.

And what is the last picture showing?
