Shukou yuugi by Makoto Osakabe, 1888
 

Part One of 'Shukou yuugi' by Makoto Osakabe was published in 1888. It contains details of how to make a few paperfolding designs. I have not seen a copy of Part Two and do not know whether it was ever published.

A full copy of the work can be accessed online here.
