This
page is for those who want the instructions to fold a Kawasaki
rose flower. The original designer of this rose is Toshikazu Kawasaki and the model was shown in a book,
"Origami for the Connoisseur (1987)".
However, folding diagrams are only shown there for a budding Kawasaki rose. This rose simulates full-bloom rose flower. If you find any bugs on this instruction, please send an email to .
You may use any kind of paper to fold the
