According to an article in the Asahi Shimbun Digital of February 22nd 2017, the oldest known representations of the Orizuru have been found on a kozuka which can be dated to around 1600.

Masatsugu Tsutsumi has since informed me that this has been narrowed down to 1591/3.

I have not seen any other evidence to support the dating of this artifact.
