つく羽根/Tsukubane
“つく羽根/Tsukubane” 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.

Tsukubane is the model that a back of a big crane is connected to two small cranes.
It is very hard to fold this model.
Therefore, make creases neatly!
Completed Tsukubane

The diagram of Tsukubane

<reference>『Hiden-Senbazuru-Orikata』- was published in 1797

This is a diagram that I drew new dotted lines.
Preparation of an origami paper
【Size】
a 26x26cm paper or it is bigger than 26cm.
【Kinds】
・Basic origami paper
・Double sided origami paper
・Washi paper
I made this model with a 26x26cm basic origami paper.
If you use a big paper, it will get easier to make this model.

Fold the paper in four in each direction.

After making creases, cut the paper on the blue line that you have made.

Cut the paper like this picture.
Preparing an origami paper is completed!
Make creases
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.
When making this model,
fold small cranes in the way to make a basic-crane for connected-cranes.
fold a big crane in a specific way.
Make creases for making a big crane while referencing this pages.
On the other page, there is how to make a basic-crane for connected-cranes.


(1)
Put the paper colored side up.
If the yellow lines are mountain-folds, make valley-folds on the yellow lines.

(2)
Fold the paper like this picture.

(3)
On the other side, fold the paper like this picture.

(4)
Then fold the paper in half to make a crease at the dotted line.

(5)
Fold the paper like this picture.
Then spread the paper and turn it over.

(6)
After tuning the paper over, make a mountain-fold on the blue line and then fold it to the center line to make a valley-fold at the dotted line.

(7)
Fold the paper like this picture.

(8)
Then make a mountain-fold on the blue line and then fold it to the center line to make a valley-fold at the dotted line.

(9)
Fold the paper like this picture.
Then turn the paper over as it is.

(10)
After tuning the paper over, make creases at the dotted lines.

(11)
Fold the paper like this picture.
(Fold the bottom to the left.)

(12)
On the other side, fold the paper like this picture.
(Fold the bottom to the right.)

(13)
Then rotate the paper 180 degrees.

(14)
After rotating the paper, make creases at the dotted lines.

(15)
After making creases, it looks like this picture.
Then turn the paper over as it is.

(16)
After tuning the paper over, make creases at the dotted lines.

(17)
Fold the paper like this picture.
(Fold the bottom to the diagonal crease.)

(18)
On the other side, fold the paper like this picture.
(Fold the bottom to the diagonal crease.)

(19)
Then rotate the paper 180 degrees.

(20)
After rotating the paper, make creases at the dotted lines.

(21)
After making creases, it looks like this picture.
Then spread the paper.
