荘子/Sozi
“荘子/Sozi” 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”.
The book was published in 1797.

Sozi is the model that a back of a crane is connected to another crane.
Connecting parts tear easily.
Therefore, make creases neatly and fold this model carefully!
Completed Sozi
The diagram of Sozi
＜reference＞『Hiden-Senbazuru-Orikata』- was published in 1797
This is a diagram that I changed lines.
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.
Since connecting parts tear easily,
if you use a double sided origami paper or washi paper, it will get easier to make this model.
Also, this model is a model that you can see a liner or the back side.
If you use a double sided same color origami paper, this model will be more beautiful.
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 one crane in the way to make an inside-blintz-crane.
fold another crane in the way to make an outside-blintz-crane.
The way to make an inside-blintz-crane and outside-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 or outside-blintz-crane-creases which are the green lines and the blue lines in this picture.
In the “A” square, make inside-blintz-crane-creases.
In the “B” square, make outside-blintz-crane-creases.
This picture is taken after making inside-blintz-crane-creases or outside-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!
The diagram that I changed lines.
Cut the paper while referencing the diagram.
This is an enlarged picture.
I used a 17.5×17.5cm paper.
I left about 3mm for the length of the connecting part.
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 – Sozi.
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!
