ORIGAMI:KAWASAKI ROSE Start with a square of origami paper, colored side up:

Make a valley fold along the east-west axis as shown:

Now make another valley fold along the north-south axis:

Rotate the paper 90 degrees:

Next fold in half again, and unfold:

Fold the bottom edge of the paper one-third of the way to the centerline, then unfold the paper:

Fold the paper left to right and rotate 90 degrees. Then repeat the last four (4) steps.

Now your origami paper should look like this, with two (2) pairs of creases near the centerlines, and two (2) pairs of creases further from the centerlines.

The creases nearest the centerlines need to be re-folded, so that all four (4) are mountain folds (2 of them are already mountain folds). See the next four (4) photos:

Next, re-fold the four (4) creases furthest from the centerline, to valley folds (2 of them are already valley folds). The mountain (M) and valley (V) fold layout should look like this:

Then, make folds along each diagonal as shown:

Partially fold the along the centerline creases so that they stick up somewhat from the paper, as shown in the next four (4) photos.

Now use your fingers to move the centerline creases in opposite directions.....

...which will result in a pinwheel shape:

Press down gently with one finger on top of the pinwheel. Work slowly until the point flattens into a diamond in the middle of the paper: Flip the paper over so the next colored side is up. Now fold point A through 90 degrees, as shown in the next ten (10) photos:

Now partially unfold the paper, rotate it 90 degrees clockwise, and fold point B 90 degrees as shown:

Repeat the 90 degree fold for points C and D, after which your origamipaper will look like this:

Now overlap points A, B, C and D along the same line, while curling the paper to form a cylinder, as shown in the next five (5) photos:

Place the paper cylinder in one of your palms as shown, with the bottom sticking out as shown. Start folding the bottom flaps inwards as shown, along the creases.

The last flap gets tucked under the previous ones, to close off the bottom of the piece. Next turn the rose bud around so you have access to the top.

Reach into the center and gently pull outwards to open the inner petals:

Curl the four (4) outer petals as shown:

Now your origami Kawasaki rose is complete!

If you like, you can add a leaf with stem for a nice finishing touch:

Origami:Leaf

Origami Rose with Leaf Step 11: Fold both the top and bottom halves on the left side to meet the center crease.

Origami Rose with Leaf Step 12: Now fold both the top and bottom halves on the right side to meet the center crease.

Origami Rose with Leaf Step 13: Fold the top half down, creasing on the dotted line shown below. The edges should line up on the bottom.

Origami Rose with Leaf Step 14: One more fold and you're done! Fold the paper in half again, along the dotted line shown below.
