Hiroshima Crane, by Andrew Hudson

Hiroshima Crane, by Andrew Hudson, originally uploaded by Origami Weekly.

The anniversaries of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings were this week, and so we're releasing diagrams for a crane variation today. It's a little simpler than our usual fare, but it's elegant and, I think, still quite an interesting model.

Diagrams here. Some advice: step 18 and 20 will be easier if you use a pencil or toothpick to help squash the layers inside the flap.
