| This
page is being used to collect information about the
history of the paperfolding design I call the Fish-Base
Penguin, which appears in the literature in several
variations. The feet are sometimes separated by a cut.

should be added. Thank you. This design first occurs in the books of Isao Honda and is possibly his original design. ********** 1944 As far as I know this design first appears in 'Origami Shuko' by Isao Honda, which was published by Sangyo Tosho Publishing Co. Ltd in 1944.
