Details: This three-dimensional tree is a multi-piece model perfect for the holidays. The branches are folded from 5 square sheets of varying size, with the trunk folded from an additional sheet. Each piece is simple to fold, all of them based on the same basic structure. When assembled, the model is sturdy and stable. You can even use the flat branches to display smaller models like ornaments. Diagrams in both English and Japanese. Enjoy!
This model was designed in 1975. These diagrams were first published in the Nippon Origami Association publication "Origami" No. 3.
