Today marks 101 years since the birth of Akira Yoshizawa, the grandmaster of origami.
Google has marked the occassion with a special origami doodle – and we thought you might like to celebrate Yoshizawa's birthday by making a traditional origami flapping bird. Mark Bolitho, chair of the British Origami Society, met Yoshizawa on a few occasions. Yoshizawa was, he says, a pioneer of techniques such as wetting the paper to make it easier to fold, and of making more complex models as paper technology improved. Here, Mark guides you through the steps to make your own origami bird. Step one Start with a square of paper - you can use any paper but I'm using origami paper. With the coloured side up, fold the square in half diagonally. Step two Turn the paper over. Step three With the paper white side up, take the right and left corners into the middle and down to the bottom corner. Step four Fold the left and right lower edges into the centre crease to make a kite shape.
