A few years prior, Kota Imai's box pleated design of a japanese spiny lobster gained a lot of attention for the sheer complexity that went into making all the spines and textures of a lobster. It has since become among the ranks of the ryujin 3.5 as one of the top landmarks of complex origami. Thus, since the beginning of my hp journey, it has been a goal of mine to recreate the JSL in hex pleating.
This could be described as "multiaxial" hex pleating, or you could call it normal hp with some really complicated level shifters. In any case, it uses a weird layout to create the solid width of the body
