Modular Origami Instructions
The units are assembled by tucking flaps or tips into pockets, generally in a symmetrical or repeating fashion to complete the origami model.
Supposedly, a Japanese book by Hayato Ohoka published in 1734 called Ranma Zushiki contains the first historical evidence of modular origami!
The book shows a group of traditional origami models, one of which is a modular origami cube.
The cube was identified in the accompanying text as a tamatebako or a "magic treasure chest".
Kusuduma, the Japanese balls of paper flowers, also called medicine balls, are sometimes called modular origami but technically, they are not.
Kusuduma are generally assembled using thread so they should not be called modular origami.
Below are the modular origami models we currently have on this site:
