The kite base is merely two valley folds that bring two adjacent edges of the square together to lie on the square's diagonal.The resulting base will then have more points available for folding. The resulting square can then be used as the starting point for any base or blintzed again.
KAWASAKI ROSE DIAGRAM SERIES
In origami, there is a series of several bases that many models are created with. Petal fold on one half of a preliminary fold A petal fold is equivalent to two side-by-side rabbit ears, which are connected along the reference crease. Fold one layer of the open point upward and flatten it using the existing creases. Make another fold across the top connecting the ends of the creases to create a triangle of creases. Make two radial folds from the open point, so that the open edges lie along the reference crease. The two flaps are attached to each other along a reference crease. (For example, two flaps of a preliminary base). A petal fold starts with two connected flaps, each of which has at least two layers.Fold two radial folds from opposite corners along the same side of the reference crease the resulting flap should be folded downwards so that the previous edges are aligned. A rabbit ear fold starts with a reference crease down a diagonal.Open the flap and refold downward to make two adjacent flaps. Make a radial fold from the closed point down the center of this flap. A squash fold starts with a flap with at least two layers (for example, one flap of a waterbomb base).A dotted line shows a previous fold that's hidden behind other paper, or sometimes shows a fold that's not yet made.A thin line shows where a previous fold has creased the paper.The paper is folded behind itself, this is normally done by turning the paper over, folding a valley fold and then turning the paper back over again. A dashed and dotted line shows a mountain fold (there may be one or two dots per dash depending on the author).A thick line shows the edge of the paper.The two main types of origami symbol are lines and arrows - arrows show how origami paper is bent or moved, while lines show various types of edges: It was then accepted as the default throughout the international origami community, and is still in general use today. The Yoshizawa–Randlett system was first described in Samuel Randlett's Art of Origami in 1961. This system caught the attention of Samuel Randlett and Robert Harbin, who added a few symbols such as “rotate” and “zoom in”, and then adopted it as the standard. He employed dotted and dashed lines to represent mountain and valley folds, and a few other symbols such as the “inflate” and “round” symbols. He introduced its diagramming notation in his first published monograph, Atarashi Origami Geijutsu (New Origami Art) in 1954. In the 1950s and '60s, Akira Yoshizawa proposed a system of diagramming. None of these systems were sufficient to diagram all models, and so none were widely adopted.
These ranged from an unwieldy set of symbols to a photograph or sketch of each step attempting to show the motion of a fold. Later books began to devise a system of showing precisely how a model was folded. The diagrams in this book were very unclear, and often only showed the result of the folding process, leaving the folder unsure how the model was created. The concept of diagramming originated in the 1797 book “Senbazuru Orikata”, the first origami book ever published.
