'Origami Fun Book: Squirrel Book' by Tatsuo Miyawaki was published by Biken-Sha in Matsuyama, Japan in 1967 and distributed by Japan Publications Trading Company.

The work contained folded examples of the designs.

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

My grateful thanks to the British Origami Society for letting me see a copy of this work.
