Origami Creations - Three Wise Monkeys

As we are in the 3rd day of the Lunar New Year of the Red Monkey, I would like to share a cute fold titled the "Three Wise Monkeys" designed by the Japanese origamist Tsubo Tadashi.

See No Evil, Speak No Evil and Hear No Evil

It carries a wonderful message of not dwelling in evil thoughts and actions so as to ensure embracing a positive perspective in life.

Below is another photo of the three monkeys.  Ain't they cute?  You can find the ori-diagram in the book Tanteidan Magazine no. 154.

Enjoy and hope we can all embrace and practice the teaching of the three wise monkeys!

Origami Creations - How about Monkeys?

Brrrr ... really cold in Hong Kong these days!

I chance upon a cool model by the japanese master Hideo Komatsu - Japanese Macaque.  This is a great opportunity to fold a monkey as I haven't tried making one.

Cool shaping

The proportions is impressive but I really struggled with the shaping.  The end result though is quite satisfying.

What do you think?

Enjoy the Christmas week!
