Another simple modification of a hex twist by Shuzo Fujimoto. When used as a tessellation molecule, this design has later been rediscovered by multiple people, including yours truly.

The name hemp leaf (asanoha, 麻の葉) refers to a Japanese pattern used on fabrics, which this origami design resembles. Thanks to Tamaki/タマキ (aosoraorigami@instagram) who pointed this out to me. Thus, the model is not a very realistic depiction of the actual plant leaf, but a pretty exact depiction of the abstract pattern named after it.
