it is a rather expensive book. I bought mine from the origami house in japan (US Dollar transferred into Japanese Yen) but I found a slightly more local link. [link]

enh... it's a po-ta-to/pa-ta-to sort of thing I think. I've seen it spelled so many different ways I don't even think there is an official spelling.

Yes sir, it is. I consider myself very proud that I was able to make one that small. The last version of that I made was made from a sheet of paper 36x36 inches

Well done! What kind of paper did you use? I can't get any that doesn't tear to shreds during the final steps. My next trial will be with Tissue Foil, but I need to wait for the weather to warm up a little before I can make any more.

I used the lightest weight 11x17 sheet of paper that I could find, changed it into a 11x11 sheet of paper and hoped to god. In all truth, the mouth DID rip a little... but I was able to cover that up. There's also a spot at the base of the tail that got worn down a little from the sweat on my hands.
I PREFER thick tissue paper or thin rice paper, but it's difficult for me to find that kind of paper in mass quantities. My mom was able to get some of the former, but that was because she works for 3M and they usued to use that sort of paper in between sheets of transpariency, but 3M is dropping transpariency production in favor of the new digital medias and projectors.

I've got a sheet of hand-made mulberry paper that I'm just dieing to wet-fold to make the Ancient Dragon. I just can't seem to work up the courage to attempt it until I'm a a little better with wet-folding.

Very impressive. Didn't know you do origami ^_^
Are there any diagrams or instructions for this one? i am very interested.
π: 0 β©: 1
the design from this comes from the collected works of Satoshi Kamiya from [link]
Origami House is an international headquarters for the art of Origami, and is ofcourse located in Japan. As a warning though, the origami that you get from their collected books are of an exceedingly high level of detail and difficulty, some of which I find difficulty in doing.
The Great Dragon, The Bahumat and the Yellow bird (Kweh) are all from the book listed in the link above.

Vader: Impressive....most impressive....

Luke: No! You're not my father! THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE! *folds Bahumat* but this isn't. This is highly improbable.
Vader: ... how did you do that with one hand?
Luke:... I am strong in the force.

Very impressive work...I can imagine the time and hard work to do this...very nice folding...
anyway, what does Bahumat mean?
π: 0 β©: 1
The Bahumat - this model ala Final Fantasy 8 - is a legend of the Orient. He is the king of all dragons - or so I understand it - and the legend is thankfully public domain so anyone and everyone can use the term/name Bahumat to describe the king of dragons.
As an example, Final Fantasy 7 utelized Bahumat, Bahumat Zero, and Bahumat Neo as possible summons.

I see. thanks for the data. i like the way how you folded the wings and the face.
π: 0 β©: 1
The face lacks detail that are in the folding instructions due to how small I had to fold it, but I'm pretty happy with it.
π: 0 β©: 1
but if you have such the patience and time to do it...that was excellent work...
Now, if you can just fold out any one of your own dragons...

That is what differentiates me from a master. Unfortuneately I don't know enough of the art to make my own designs

I see. Perhaps you can learn more in future.
More paper dragons please!
