Origami Sun designed by Jo Nakashima (2010+2021)
Difficulty level: intermediate

My origami Sun was originally created in 2010. There were flaws in the design and the video quality was awful. Recently I decided to fold it again and managed to make a very nice improvement by locking the layers and also a better folding sequence.

Origami Sun diagrams

Notice: at first I’ve made these diagrams only for the video, not to be published separately. For this reason, some transitions or steps might not be so clear. If you find some step difficult, you can find more detailed instructions in the video tutorial.
