| This
page is being used to collect information about the
history of the paperfolding design known as the Winnowing
Box. 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 Winnowing Box is closely related to the Blintz Box. ********** In Japan (and in publications by Japanese authors) 1878 An illustration of the Winnowing Box appears in 'Yochien Ombutsu No Zu', a publication of kindergarten material issued by the Tokyo Women's Normal School in 1878.
********** This design also appears: 1931 in 'Origami (Part 1)' by Isao Honda, which was published in Japan in 1931.
********** 1944 In 'Origami Shuko' by Isao Honda, which was published in 1944.
********** 1960 As 'A Winnow Tray' in 'All About Origami' by Isao Honda, which was published by Toto Bunka Company, Limited in Tokyo in 1960.
********** As 'A Winnowing Tray' in 'Pocket Guide to Origami: Bow-Wow Book', by Isao Honda, which was published by the Asahi Origami Club, Tokyo in 1960.
********** 1965 As 'Winnowing Box' in 'The World of Origami' by Isao Honda, which was published in the USA by Japan Publications Trading Company in 1965.
********** 1970 As 'Winnowing basket' in 'Origami Nippon' by Isao Honda, which is a paperback book published by Honda Origami Studio in Tokyo in 1970.
********** In Europe and the Americas 1937 As far as I know the first appearance of this design in the West is as the 'Dustpan' in 'Paper Toy Making' by Margaret Campbell, which was first published by Sir Isaac Pitman and Sons Ltd in London, probably in 1937, although both the Foreword and Preface are dated 1936, which argues that the book was complete at that date.
********** 1956 The design also appears as 'The Dustpan' in 'Paper Magic' by Robert Harbin, which was published by Oldbourne in London in 1956
