page attempts to record what is known about the origin
and history of the origami design I call the Tuck-in
Mitre, and it's variants. Please contact me if you know
any of this information is incorrect or if you have any
other information that should be added. Thank you. The Tuck-In Mitre is developed from a version of the Newspaper Hat, it's distinguishing feature being that both outside edges tuck into pockets at the front. ********** In Japan (and in publications by Japanese authors) 1895 This design appears as 'Kinchaku' (Purse) in issue 1895 / 6 of the Japanese children's magazine 'Shokokumin'.
