This article gives an interesting snapshot of origami in Japan in 1959 and contains the earliest known use of the word 'origami' in Australia.

Inter alia it mentions that:

'A menagerie of animals sometimes line the tops of cash registers in cafes.'

'Purists frown on the use of scissors ...'

'Paste is permitted ...'

The ghost with its 'hood spread out over its hollow countenance' is probably a reference to The Cut Phantom found in Isao Honda's books, and indeed the whole article is consistent with being based around his ideas and designs.
