Compound Representational Designs

This page is incomplete at present

 
This page is being used to collect information about the history of Compound Representational Designs (representational designs folded by combining several sheets of paper). Please contact me if you know any of this information is incorrect or if you have any other important information that should be added. Thank you.

There is a separate page for designs created by the technique of Modular Paperfolding (which are normally geometric rather than representational).

Compound Representational Designs which appear in the books of Isao Honda are recorded under the date they first appear.
