Origami Eastern Dragon designed by Jo Nakashima (12/2023)
Difficulty level: intermediate

Learn how to make an origami Eastern Dragon for 2024, the year of the dragon according to the Chinese zodiac. I’ve already created a few dragons before, but all of them were western dragons with wings and larger bodies. The eastern dragon has a long snake-like body with four legs and they can fly without wings.

The head is the same as the origami Dragon v3, but the base is similar to the Chameleon.
