Introduction

In 2023, I received several dozen models folded by Shuzo Fujimoto’s hand from Roberto Morassi. So far, I have shown some of those models at origami conventions, but I want to make them available to a wider audience. In this post, I am publishing pictures of all those models. Some of them were new designs that I had not seen anywhere else, and which I had to assign new CFW numbers. Others I could match to models easily found in Fujimoto’s books. At least two helped me confirm my analysis of designs that were only mentioned briefly in the books, and required a great deal of reverse-engineering to reconstruct (Daffodil (CFW 97) and Hex Twist Star CFW 94). They also provided an interesting glimpse into Fujimoto’s design process and his folding method. His wildly inaccurate folding was one of the most striking surprises I found in those models and a fact I would never learn by looking at books and other printed publications alone.
