| This
page is being used to collect infpormation about the
history of the paperfolding design known as Le Kiosque
Japonais. 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. ********** 1900 As far as I know this design first appeared in an article by Alber in the French children's magazine Mon Journal of 7th April 1900
********** The design also appears in: 1908 'Les Petits Secrets Amusants' by Alber-Graves, which was published by Librairie Hachette in Paris in 1908.
********** 1932 'La Nature' Issue 2894 of 1st December 1932 in an article by Alber headed 'Pliage de Papiers' and subheaded 'Le Kiosque Japonais'.
********** Booklet 4 of 'Images a Plier', a series of 6 booklets published by Librairie Larousse in Paris in 1932.
********** As 'Kiosco japonés' in Booklet 3 of 'Figuras de Papel', a series of 3 booklets published by B Bauza in Barcelona in 1932. I have not seen an illustration from the booklet but in view of the connection between this series of booklets and 'Images a Plier' it is almost certainly the same design. ********** 1956 As 'Festival Lanterns' in 'Paper Magic' by Robert Harbin, which was published by Oldbourne in London in 1956. The text notes, ' Many of these can be seen in the Pleasure Gardens of Kure, Japan. They are made of stone.' I have not, however, been able to verify this information.
