'Origami Fun Book: Crane Book' by Tatsuo Miyawaki was published by Shikoku Hoiku Co Ltd in Matsuyama, Japan in 1965.

I have not seen a full copy of this work. The information on his page has been put together from a variety of sources and may not be complete in all respects.

The work contained folded examples of some of the designs.

Many of the designs are heavily cut and many are also depicted in the coloured plates with added decorations, especially eyes.
