Thank you for these clear instructions. I had fun folding it. And I painted a street art graffiti mural in London, based on this fantastic model.

[danielzajic]

to be honest... it's a bit challenging choice for second origami in my life

[jonakashima]

You're asking me to show where to fold exactly when there is no exactly where to fold. Not everything has a reference point, sometimes it's up to your skill/sensibility to make it nicely. This is one of the reasons of the high difficulty level on the video description.

I used regular 15cm x 15cm paper and the small details at the end were a challenge but I managed to make them work! The ears where difficult to shape properly though. Thank you for the instructions, they helped a lot!

back legs are a nightmare. Ended up making them look alike but didn't follow all the steps.

[lazerushope]

You've done amazing work here. The crispness and expression in your folding really make this model come alive. I was able, with patience to complete the design but my folding needs much more practice. The instruction was very clear and I like that the diagramming in the top corner. Thank you for helping us non-Crease-Pattern-Masters how to make a great design.

Just finished it! The paper I used was a bit too thick for this, and it made a lot of the folds much more difficult than they were. I'm still fairly happy with how it turned out, though :)

@emanuelmendesc não sei a gramatura desse papel, ele é bem fino. Mas no coelho cinza da foto miniatura (também tem foto na minha página do Facebook) usei um papel mais grosso, o Tant (78 g/m²) . Qualquer papel "normal" serve (papel dobradura, sulfite, etc)

A great video!
A beautiful finished model!
Superb, clear, precise instructions!

Now... Either Mr. Nakashima has magical super powers, or it's magical paper!
I don't know which one, but something's going on. I try to fold according to the instructions, and my folds, bends and seams never line up, or I get the paper so weak from folding it that it tears at some point during the process.
I dunno... maybe I'm using the wrong paper, or it's to thick to start with.
Either way, I love watching a Master Origamist "plying" his trade!

Thank You Mr. Nakashima for all that you do to teach us a very ancient art form!!!

I totally lost him at "Shape the hind leg." :(

@emerquiag os vídeos novos tem português (e todos os futuros terão também). Não falo porque acho que não ficaria muito legal, não sou muito comunicativo...

[jonakashima]

@Patznn o nível é difícil (tem dobras como closed sink, swivel folds, crimps...)
É mais difícil que uma rosa kawasaki sim, mas é só ter paciência, não tem nenhum passo muuuito complexo.

@GreiciHAlmeida seria a Tenman Ya? (na rua dos Estudantes, perto do cruzamento com a Galvão Bueno)

[galocalderon]

I know you said the difficulty is high, and it sure is. Obviously, you know what you're doing and you have a gift. But, this is basically an educational video. You're showing us how to make something. To provide a video with only visuals and no spoken words is difficult. It doesn't give us any cues, any predictions or understanding as to what the next step is. Food for thought. Otherwise, I like what you're doing. Wish I could be as good as you.

[jonakashima]

@Maloriar yes, that's it! I'll have to delete the english later, but it is easier to check if everything is ok this way

[jonakashima]

@Boonwagon12 in person, not yet. I hope I can meet him some day, we live on the same city but I think he is in Japan now

[fredericchopin]

Since I first started making origami 4 ago, I’ve been trying to fold this in many ocassions, but I could never get it right. This bunny has given me nightmares. I’ll try it now. Wish me luck!

[prittyjake]

and i love how he puts a little diagram up on the topright.

[ThoNguyen-jvck]

Not too hard to me though, but hard to think out and design it, i love this video, the rabbit is beauty and just like real.
