On this site, I’ve considered and posted how to fold “連鶴/Renzuru” while referencing diagrams in the book which is “秘伝千羽鶴折形/Hiden-Senbazuru-Orikata”.
The book was published in 1797.
Renzuru means connected-cranes which are made of only one paper without glue and tape.
In the book – Hiden-Senbazuru-Orikata, there are 49 models of Renzuru.
I posted how to fold 46 models other than Hyakkaku, Karyobin and Tsurihune.
There are pictures of 46 completed models on this page.
I separated 46 models by 6 types.
If you click Renzuru’s name, you will move to pages which are how to fold the model.
Kinds of Renzuru 『Hiden-Senbazuru-Orikata』
