Eastern Dragon ©1998 by Joseph Wu (Designed ca. 1992. Diagrammed 98-8-26 to 98-10-09.)
The Nippon Origami Associations (NOA) magazine, Origami, No. 149 (January, 1988), included diagrams
for a dragon by KITAMURA Keiji. The head was subtle and beautiful, but the body was awkward and
clumsy. The model also required two 2x1 rectangles. I took the head design and grafted it onto a longer
rectangle to create this eastern dragon.
Start with a 5x1 rectangle, coloured side up. (You can use any integer ratio of 4x1 or longer. My longest
dragon started with a 12x1 rectangle.

reverse folds.)
