I designed this fractal by starting from Shuzo Fujimoto’s Thorn (CFW 86). I don’t know whether Fujimoto himself was aware of the possibility of fractalizing that design.

In this variant, each consecutive level twists in the same direction. Another possibility is to have every other level be mirrored.
