“花橘/Hana-tachibana” 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”.

Preparation of an origami paper
【Size】
a 17.5×17.5cm paper or it is bigger than 17.5cm.
【Kinds】
・Basic origami paper
・Double sided origami paper
・Washi paper
I made this model with a 17.5×17.5cm basic origami paper.
It is easy to make this model with a basic origami paper because a connecting part is long.
Fold the paper in half in each direction.
After making creases, cut the paper on the yellow line.
Cut the paper 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 creases on each square.
When making this model,
fold cranes in the way to make an inside-blintz-crane.
The way to make an inside-blintz-crane is a little different from the way to make a basic-crane for connected-cranes.
Therefore, make creases while referencing the link down below.
In each square, make inside-blintz-crane-creases which are the green lines and the blue lines in this picture.
Make inside-blintz-crane-creases in each yellow square.
This picture is taken after making inside-blintz-crane-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 your paper after making creases!

Cut the paper while referencing the diagram.
This is an enlarged picture.
Cut the paper until a quarter of width.
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.
After making sure the direction of each crane, make the model – Hana-tachibana.
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!
