Robert Lang had composed this model in year 2006 and had put the Crease pattern on his site. The basic
objective was to obtain more petals. There are 2/3 blogs discussing how to solve theC.P. The discussions are
fascinating. If the CP is observed, one can see that the choice of its proportions on its horizontal creases is
complicated and a folder with limited skills like me gets discouraged looking at sections like 6/80 or at the
most 12/80 and so on. Though I could manage to fold the rose, I was all the time thinking of a simpler
folding method. The pentagonal shape achieved in this model plus the reducing the size of petals towards the
centre definitely scores over Kawasaki rose. However the final shaping of the model requires skills. The
method of folding is similar to the model by Shuzo Fujimoto, hexagonal star corrugation from silver
rectangle where in all layers are symmetrical.
Kawasaki when explaining his models he gives lessons to practice initial folding before attempting the final
model. The variations given here can be positively considered as lessons to fold the MIURA-KEN BEAUTY
ROSE at the same time they are model by themselves.
SIMPLIFACTION
Material required: - 1) A4 size paper 2) ruled sheet of paper at least with more than 33 ruled lines. 3) Pencil
to mark reference points. Crease pattern is reproduced below.-
Method:-Fold the A4 size paper at corner and identify the square. The extra paper is folded behind with
mountain fold. Make a pinch at the right corner at 1/5 length
See annexure for division of 5th 9th .The diagrams are reproduced from Mr. Francis Ow’sbook-
Geometrical Origami
.This means you have pinch mark on left of, left over rectangle, after cutting the exact square. This extra strip
with 1/5mark will be used as reference point’s scale for the horizontal creases. Now with the help of ruled
paper where in you in corporate 0,1,2,3 etc on rows of ruled paper and by putting 0 numbered line at corner
of the square paper which we are going to fold and multiple of 11 number line on the other side make
vertical eleven creases all of equal length.
Shaping: -Your skills will play an important part for this activity. . Look at the finishing by the Designer
himself and let nature guide you. There can not be any fixed criteria.
LESSON 1-Variation 1st (4X4 petals) { 8X 9 grid } equal lengths on each side:-
The basic principle is to have multiple rectangles and the size changes as we vary row lengths. This also
gives a pentagonal shape. Kawasaki rose is in squares, so why not consider similar construction was the
thought and hence 8 equal length rows and 9 equal length columns were thought of and the base was made.
To amplify, keeping in view similar crease pattern divide the square paper with 8 equal division row folds
with color side up. Then 9 equal length folds vertically. Actual folding method is to pleat horizontal folds
like fan-- one mountain and next valley. Then start from 1st horizontal fold (mountain fold) and 2nd vertical
fold (mountain fold.) And push the in-between mountain fold on the vertical crease between 2nd and 3 rd
column by inside reverse fold, which is a mountain fold. Continue this way all layers. Lock the 1st raw edge
with the last edge. The result will be square type layered structure. Now shape this by gumming calyx and
curling all the 16 petals. This gave good result after finish and was easy to fold.
LESSON 2-
Variation 2nd {8X11 Grid } equal length on each side (4x5 petals) [more petals] ;-This gives us thought
to further increase of the petals by using initial paper of rectangle size. So we can use A4 size paper and
have 8 horizontal rows of equal length as in Variation one –{4x4 petals } (8x9grid) .but columns of equal
width can be more than 9 actually 12 so you can cut the paper at11th division to increase one more layer.
Keeping the similar crease pattern fold the base as in variation one.(Please note that for columns ,first square
length is divided in1/9equallength and then extend this division to the extra paper and cut the rectangle after
11 vertical folds and use this rectangle for folding the model.
.PAGE ROSE
Variation 3rd- [4X4 petals] ( 8x9 grid with reducing size of petals towards centre) :-The Kawasaki rose
has multiples of 4 petals but actually in nature you have more varieties of rose with pentagonal shape , but
for simplicity the thought was to have structure of 4 petals layered up .It will be simpler. With this thought
the variation was designed and hence I thought of 8 rows and 9 columns base. For the Kawasaki rose, there
is one variation by Maria called as M aria’s pentagonal rose. [There is also one more rose with more petals
designed by Phu Tran]. Where as here we are adopting a reverse method that is from pentagonal base we are
coming down to rectangular base. Actually the 8 horizontal rows can be mainly considered as 4 rows of
different width divided among themselves in half.
Here are some quick photos showing how to fold my Leftwhiteblackright design. I bet this is simpler than you expected! For an added challenge there
is a step similar to a closed sink I like to use to lock each corner together at the end.
Step 1: White side up Step 2: Crease 8ths in both directions Step 3: Pleat the 3rd crease to lie

Die Anleitung zu diesem genialen Modell ist zu finden unter der Internetadresse:
http://www.modulandia.it/modelli_vari.htm
Dank an Silvana und Enrica! Das Modell habe ich für mich „Die zwölf Monate“ genannt, weil
die Reihenfolge der Tetraeder – wie die der Monate - ja festliegt und nicht verändert werden kann
und trotzdem jede Figur, die spielerisch damit gestaltet wird – so wie jedes Jahr - völlig anders
aussieht.
Gelenkmodule
Durch den Abstand von etwa 2 mm zur Oberkante entstehen 2 Brüche in der Mitte, die das Gelenk
zwischen den Modulen bildet. Die schräge Falte von der Mitte der schmalen zur Mitte der breiten
Seite, also zum Ende der oberen Falte, markiert die Mittellinie zwischen den beiden gleichgroßen
Dreiecken der Module.
Während die Unterkante des großen gleichschenklig - rechtwinkligen Dreiecks auf dem oberen Mit-
telbruch verläuft, zeigt die Spitze des kleinen Dreiecks auf die schräge Falte. Die fertigen Gelenke
sind unten in Vorder- und Rückansicht dargestellt. Es werden je 3 der äußeren und 6 der mittleren
Gelenkmodule benötigt.
Um keine hässlichen Brüche quer durch die großen Dreiecke des Tetraedermoduls zu bekommen,
nur die Mitten der oberen und unteren Kante als Bergfalten markieren. Die Seiten auf die Markie-
rungen klappen und dann in der Mitte zusammenfalten. In einem Rechteck die Diagonalen, im ande-
ren 45°-Winkel falten.
Die obere Markierung auf den Kreuzungspunkt der Diagonalen verlängern. Anschließend die beiden
Dreiecksflächen an der Markierungslinie zusammendrücken, nach rechts umklappen und durch hin-
eindrehen des rechten überstehenden Dreiecks fixieren, anschließend auch das linke überstehende
Dreieck in die entstandene Höhle hinein drehen.
Ein symmetrisches Gelenkmodul mit der passenden Seite über eine Ecke eines Tetraedermoduls ste-
cken und die „schräge“ Falte nachfalten und damit auf das Tetraeder übertragen; den Vorgang ent-
sprechend auf der anderen Ecke wiederholen.
Zur Vollendung des Tetraeders ein passendes äußeres und ein mittleres Gelenkmodul auf die Flä-
chen aufstecken; die linke Fläche mit Gelenk in die Höhle und die rechte Fläche mit dem Gelenk
gemeinsam unter das bewegliche Dreieck in der Höhle bis zum Anschlag hinein schieben, bis alle
Flächen glatt liegen.
Jetzt wird der Reihe nach an eines der Gelenkmodule ein weiteres Tetraedermodul und ein weiteres
passendes Gelenkmodul in gleicher Art und Weise angeschlossen, bis eine zick-zack-förmige Kette
– wie im Bild zu sehen – entsteht.
Mit den Spitzen der Tetraeder nach außen wird jetzt ein Ring gebildet und das letzte Gelenkmodul
über die letzte freie Ecke des Tetraedermoduls am anderen Ende der Kette gestülpt und hineinge-
steckt. Damit ist der Ring der „12 Monate“ geschlossen und spielbereit. Viel Spaß! Wilhelm Möller
