Kawasaki's "1-minute Rose"
What: 1-minute Rose
By: Kawasaki
From: Origami Dream World - Flower and Animal Volume, ISBN: 425500238X (Japanese)
Why: The classic Kawasaki rose, while stunning, takes a good bit of practice to fold with any speed and/or accuracy (I'm told Kawasaki san can fold one in mere minutes, and I know some origami friends of mine come close to that.) So I was intrigued by the title of this one, a purported "1-minute" Kawasaki rose.
Maybe I'm just slow - it takes me more than a minute to fold this one! But it is easier and takes less time to fold than his regular roses. Nice model.
