God of Thunder Origami Crease Pattern
Origami might technically not have originally been invented in Japan but Japan definitely made a huge contribution to the art so much that most people think of Japan when it comes to origami.
It stands to reason that there would be some amazing looking origami designs based on Japanaese culture and mythology and that's what this post will explore starting with these origami Thunder God models.
Raijin is the god of thunder and lightening in Shintoism. He's usually depicted with a collection of drums that he uses to create thunder.
Hojyo Takashi has designed an amazing origami Raijin and the entire model is folded from one single sheet of paper!

Tengu are a type of legendary creature in Japanese mythology that are usually depicted with a combination of human and bird-like features. The earliest depictions of Tengu had beaks but over time they started to be represented with really large noses which is the design most people think of today.
Naoki Takeda has designed an incredible origami Tengu and the whole model is folded from one sheet of paper.

Shibaraku is one of the most popular Kabuki plays in Japan. The plot of the play revolves around the main character Kamakura Gongoro Kagemasa a famous historical warrior known for his bravery. The word Shibaraku means "stop a moment" and the play gets its name from a scene where a samurai is being attacked by several villains. Kamakura Gongoro Kagemasa shouts "Shibaraku!" (stop a moment) from behind the curtain before coming out, defeating the villains and saving the samurai.
Hojyo Takashi designed an amazing origami model based on this character. Every part of this model including the sword is folded from one sheet of paper.

Our final model for this post is this incredible origami Sanada Yukimura. Sanada Yukimura was a Japanese samurai who is famous for being the general on the defending side of the Siege of Osaka.
Sanada Yukimura was called "a Hero who may appear once in a hundred years" and "Crimson Demon of War" which makes the red paper used in this model an excellent choice.
It's definitely worth noting that this entire model is folded from one sheet of paper!
