About this fold
The traditional Japanese crane, including its pre-creases, bird base, petal fold, reverse folds and wings. More layers and finer points. Give yourself the full time and it stays pleasant. There is no timer and no score — the estimate below is only there so you know roughly what you are choosing.
Design note: Traditional Japanese crane (orizuru); its physical QuietFold sequence is still in review.
