Hey all,
Just wondering if anyone has come across diagrams of Yoshizawa's Elephant and Momotani's Rabbit on the net?
If you have, can you please post the link?
Thanks,
Shu
PS. Hope this isn't against board regulations... I'm a newbie and from what I understand, it isn't, but if I've done a no-no, please tell me!

No, no, searching for online diagrams is quite alright. It's just when people ask for diagrams from copyrighted book/magazines/etc. that we don't like.
I have my sincere doubts Yoshizawa would have any online diagrams. He started diagramming his models for books, but he had way too many designs to diagram them all. Theres a possibility you might find it in one of his books.
And Momotani's rabbit is in the book Shin Origami Rando: Doubutsu no Origami (New Origami Land: Origami Animal Vol. 11).

Yes, Peter Engel explains in his book how Yoshizawa started diagramming much after he started designing, and he kept turning out so many designs that he never got to put a lot of them in his books. If Yoshizawa was alive today, I'm sure he would also be making CPs and maybe even putting them online
