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!

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.

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