Origami in Go?

Post by koks9dan »

Since Im also a keen origami enthusiast, I have been always wondering if there's a Origami model of Go (the Yin Yang model doesnt count)? Anyone knows?

Thank you :)

There is not much in go to have origami of. Goke? You can make origami boxes. Stones? Maybe a pump variation. Board? Piece of paper with lines drawn.
I don't see much more being done with go-related origami.

u bet? I could think of ton of things to do about go with origami. I will just list here a few of my ideas (just plain ideas, I havent been able develop any of them into model yet though):

1) a human model which maybe look like angel by Kamiya Satoshi resembles Sai

2) a model of Hand of God which is picking a black/white stone

3) a model of 2 people playing go on a board ( the board need not to be a go board-like)

4) a go board with creases making the horizontal and vertical lines overlapping. If possible, making the stones on top of the board - probably creating them like this:

(the above image is Japanese Flag model created by Hiba - a Vietnamese Origami Designer)

5) a fancy hand fan like the one in HnG
