未草/Hitsujigusa
“未草/Hitsujigusa” is an original Renzuru model of this site – “Tsuru-no-Goshiki”.
Renzuru means connected-cranes which are made of only one paper without glue and tape.
I’ve posted only ways to prepare a paper for original models other than Temusubi.
Renzuru models which I posted how to make them are yellow thumbnails like the picture below.

Hitsujigusa is the model that four cranes are connected to each other with wings.
Connecting parts are long and it is a little hard to make this model.
Therefore, make this model carefully.

Preparation of an origami paper
【Size】
a 15x15cm paper or it is bigger than 15cm.
【Kinds】
・Basic origami paper
・Double sided origami paper
・Washi paper
I made this model with a 15x15cm basic origami paper.
Since connecting parts are long,
it is easy to make this model with a basic origami paper even.
Fold the paper in half in each direction.
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 yellow square.
This picture is taken after making basic-creases in each yellow 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 yellow square.
Cut the paper

Cut the paper while referencing the diagram.
This is an enlarged picture.
Each cut is one fourth of the length.
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 yellow lines are changed to wings.
Preparing a paper for Hitsujigusa is finished!
Make this model carefully while making sure the direction of each crane!
I recommend that you raise a head/tail so that the part, which is shown by the arrow, is long.
By raising it like this picture, this model will be more beautiful.
After making four cranes, make beaks at parts whichever you like.
I made beaks so that cranes face in the direction of clockwise.
