On an unrelated note, I’ve also been watching The Flash (the TV show). The head gave me a bit of trouble, but the mane and face are pretty slick. You may have noticed that, with the details, I had to go back to the thinner paper. The regal countenance and fancy mane make it much more memorable than other origami lions. The Lion is one of the more grandiose models in the book, not that there are a lack of them. It does not turn into a Jizou statue (that I am aware of). Moving on, Kamiya’s tanuki has a great raccoon-esque colour change and adorable little ears. But how many people recognize “Cyclommatus metallifer”, anyway? Or maybe they just didn’t think it was popular enough for people to recognize. 3 helped popularize the word in English but spelled it “tanooki”. I wonder if they didn’t use it because Super Mario Bros. The Raccoon Dog is listed in Japanese as Tanuki, which is also a word in English. The next couple of models from Kamiya’s second book are a Raccoon Dog and a Lion.
