Four Gods Origami text instructions.
Posted: February 25th, 2015, 1:16 pm
For those unfamiliar, the four Gods are a mythological motif that show up quite frequently in works of East Asian Origin. Using their Japanese names, the 4 are:
Genbu, the black Tortoise/Turtle of the North(sometimes portrayed with two snake-like heads).
Byako, the White Tiger of the West
Seiryu, the Blue Dragon of the East
Suzaku, the Red Phoenix/Sparrow of the South
If someone could direct me to text instructions(my vision is far too poor for me to follow diagrams or crease patterns) for models suitable for representing the Four Gods, it would be greatly appreciated. Please note that, since these are from East Asian origina(Chinese if I remember correctly), Seiryu would be better represented by a Chinese-style dragon rather than a European-style dragon.
Also, it would be nice if the four models could be folded from the same size paper(I was aiming for either 30cm Origami paper or A3 copy paper as my material) while having the finished mdoels be of similiar size.
I don't mind if the models are sourced from paid sources, but please note that I can't read printed materials, so printed books are a no go.
