How to fold 3D Mt. Fuji origami.
So, let's fold a 3D Mt. Fuji using origami! Many people have explained how to fold a 3D Mt. Fuji, and I have also introduced how to fold Mt. Fuji origami in my other notes in the past.
It wouldn't be very creative to post the same content, and since this is the Ax Origami folding site, I tried a little harder and included folding diagrams.
Furthermore, I am also introducing an English version for overseas tourists.
I run an NPO that grows fruit and processes agricultural products in Minami-Alps City, Yamanashi Prefecture. Actually, there is a city called Fujiyoshida at the foot of Mt. Fuji in the same Yamanashi Prefecture, which is a base for Mt. Fuji tourism. A retro shopping street there went viral because you can take photos of the shopping street with a huge Mt. Fuji in the background.
We have a direct sales store for our fruits and jams on Honcho-dori Shopping Street, which is that retro shopping street in Fujiyoshida City.
It's around here.
When you shop at this direct sales store, you might receive this 3D Mt. Fuji origami as a gift from the staff. If you buy some jam and ask, 'What is this?' while looking like you want it, you can get one.
Furthermore, if you express that you want to make one, the staff will hold a Mt. Fuji origami workshop as long as they are not busy.
Now, the point I focused on when creating this Mt. Fuji origami was to make it a folding method that even overseas tourists can make!
If possible, I think it would be the best souvenir if they could take a commemorative photo of the Mt. Fuji origami they made together with the real Mt. Fuji.
The 'sink fold' technique used to indent the top of Mt. Fuji might be a bit difficult, but even so, when I show them how to make it together, they fold the Mt. Fuji quite skillfully and take it home as a souvenir.
This origami is easy to understand when representing Japan overseas, and it is small and compact when giving it as a gift. Moreover, since it becomes 3D, it can be displayed, so I think it is good for a small gift.
This 'origami for when something happens' is quite a powerful item overseas. In the past, the kangaroo origami I gave as a gift while traveling in Australia turned into wine.
In that sense, Japanese people, let's show people how to make origami instead of imitating karate.
With that said, please try folding it yourself.
