“風蘭/Huran” is one model of 49 kinds of “連鶴/Renzuru”.
Renzuru means connected-cranes which are made of only one paper without glue and tape.
49 kinds of Renzuru was in the book which is “秘伝千羽鶴折形/Hiden-Senbazuru-Orikata”.

Huran is the model that roots of wings are connected to four small cranes.
Small cranes are very close to each other.

Preparation of an origami paper
【Size】
a 26x26cm paper or it is bigger than 26cm.
【Kinds】
・Basic origami paper
・Double sided origami paper
・Washi paper
I made this model with a 26x26cm basic origami paper.
If you use a big paper, it will get easier to make this model.
Draw lines like this picture.
(Divide the paper in five and try not to draw lines in the center.)
If you use a 26x26cm paper, the side of each square is 5.2cm.
(26÷5＝5.2cm)
After drawing lines, make creases along the lines that you have drawn.
After making creases, it looks like this picture.
Preparing an origami paper is completed!
Make creases
To make creases on a paper
To make creases on a paper before cutting the paper is very important.
If you cut a paper first before making creases, it will get harder to make creases on the paper.
Also, there’s a possibility that the paper is cut halfway when making creases.
This step is making basic-creases on each square.
On the other page, there is how to make basic-creases.
I will paste the link down below.
Make basic-creases, which are the green lines and the blue lines in this picture, on each square in the paper.
Make basic-creases in each orange square.
This picture is taken after making basic-creases in each orange square.
Please make sure whether there are the creases, which are the green lines and the blue lines in the 2 pictures ago, in each orange square.
Cut a paper
Cut your paper after making creases!

The yellow lines show the center lines of a big square.
Cut the paper so that only the left side or the right side of a small square is connected to a big square.
In this picture, the parts which are shown by the arrows are connected to a big square.
I used a 26x26cm paper.
I left about 5mm for the length of the connecting part.
When cutting a paper so that the left side of a small square is connected to a big square, Cut the paper like this picture.
When cutting a paper so that the right side of a small square is connected to a big square, Cut the paper like this picture.
Make sure the direction of each crane
Make sure the direction of each crane
When making Renzuru, to fold cranes while making sure the direction of each crane is very important.
On this site, I will draw lines on each square in a picture.
Make cranes so that the lines are changed to wings.
I recommend that you draw lines lightly on the back in order not to make a mistake.
Make cranes so that the orange lines are changed to wings.
After making sure the direction of each crane, make the model – Huran.
In the next pages, there is how to make the model.
If you try to make it by yourself, I recommend that you don’t look at the next page!
