Today is the 101st birthday of Akira Yoshizawa, the great origami master and the father of the

modern origami. You have probably noticed that Google marked the occasion with a

special origami doodle created by Robert Lang!

Why not to celebrate the event by making your own origami butterfly?! Here is a step-by-step

tutorial for a 3-d variation of classic butterfly by Akira Yoshizawa, enjoy!

UPD. A few people have asked me about the paper I used to fold those butterflies, so I thought

I’d update the post with some photos. It was a set of traditional Japanese washi paper (brought

to me from Japan). Try the producer’s webpage - Awagami Factory to find out if it’s available in

your country.
