Kudusama is a Japanese paper folding artform. It is also called modular origami because you need multiple pieces of papers formed and designed to interlock with each other to create a work of art.
I have been looking around for suitable materials to make a traditional Parol (Christmas lantern) but could not find a bamboo substitute. I know of the existence of Kudusama for quite some time now and decided that might be the way to go. So I tried out the quickest Kudusama model I can find for testing purposes and added the traditional tail to it. Usually, Kudusama calls for 30 modules. This one needs only 6, so it's a really good introduction to Kudusama. The result looks good, if I do say so myself. Patterned paper could look even better.
I found another Kudusama pattern which users stars as its dominant shape so I think that will be more appropriate as a Parol and I will also share that once I get around to doing it.
In the meantime, here is the video for this Kudusama Parol in case you'd like to try it out too.
