This model demonstrates how hard classification of origami designs is, even based on a criterion as simple as the subject. The name Lotus suggests it’s a flower, but structurally it is about the same as most stars. One interesting property that does differentiate it from Fujimoto’s [other] stars is that this model is vaulted inwards rather than flat.
