妹背山/Imoseyama
野干平/Yakanbe
“妹背山/Imoseyama” and “野干平/Yakanbe” are two models 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”.

Imoseyama and Yakanbe are the models that two cranes are connected to each other with wings.
The ways to make the two models is the same.
Imoseyama is the model that two cranes face in the same direction.

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 these models with a 15x15cm basic origami paper.
A connecting part is long.
Therefore, these models are easy to make!
Fold the paper in half.
Fold the paper like this picture and unfold it.
Fold the paper in half in the other direction.
Fold the paper like this picture and unfold it.
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 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.
(On the other page, there is how to make basic-creases in more detail when making these models.
I will paste the link down below.)
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 a paper
Cut your paper after making creases!

After cutting the paper while referencing the diagram, it looks like this picture.
Cut the paper until a half 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 models – Imoseyama or Yakanbe.
In the next page, there is how to make the models.
If you try to make them by yourself, I recommend that you don’t look at the next page!
