  By the way, if origami with fold lines and numbers is used, it becomes a guideline for folding, so that the origami producer can easily create a work. However, if the creases are not properly made during folding the origami, the folding position gradually becomes inconsistent, and the finished work may not be completed as scheduled. This is particularly noticeable when creating a work with a complicated shape.

  In addition, works created using origami can be enjoyed for viewing or used as practical products such as chopstick rests at best.

  The present invention is intended to provide an origami sheet that can easily confirm whether or not a work has been completed in a shape as planned. Furthermore, it is intended to provide an origami sheet that can be used as a playground equipment for the finished work.

  In order to solve the above problems, an origami sheet according to the present invention comprises a foldable sheet in which a window hole penetrating the front and back is partially formed, and at least one indicia disposed on at least one side of the sheet. In addition, the window hole forming position and the mark arrangement position in the sheet are such that the mark is positioned in the window hole when the sheet is bent by a procedure corresponding to the modeling object. According to this invention, it is possible for a producer or the like to easily confirm whether a work is completed as planned, based on whether a mark appears in a window hole of the completed work by bending the sheet according to a predetermined procedure.

  Preferably, the origami sheet is provided with a marker serving as a mark indicating the orientation of the sheet on at least one side of the sheet. According to this invention, since the producer can start folding the sheet without making a mistake in the direction of the sheet, it is possible to urge the accuracy of the operation so that the mark appears more reliably in the window hole.

  Preferably, the origami sheet displays a fold line corresponding to a modeling target on at least one side of the sheet. According to this invention, it becomes possible for a producer to produce a work easily and accurately.

  More preferably, the origami sheet is formed by arranging a plurality of indicia on at least one side of the sheet. According to this invention, since it is not known what signs appear from the window holes until the production is finished, the producer can make the work while enjoying the production itself. In addition, it is possible to play a lottery or a battle-type game using a sign that appears from the window hole of the work.

  Preferably, the origami sheet has two or more window holes penetrating the front and back surfaces of the origami sheet, and when the sheet is bent by a procedure corresponding to the object to be modeled, the marking is made in all the two or more window holes. Is made to be located. According to this invention, it can be confirmed more strictly whether the work has been completed correctly. In addition, it is possible to determine the correctness of the procedure (folding order, folding method, orientation, etc.) in the middle stage by making a mark appear in a specific window hole in the middle stage of creating the origami work. Can do. Furthermore, if the produced work is used as a game piece, a more complicated rule setting can be applied to the game.

  More preferably, in the origami sheet, the indicia includes a design, a number, a symbol, or a character. According to this invention, it is possible to improve the aesthetics of the work and to show the attributes and power of the piece when the work is used as a game piece.

  As the origami sheet, various papers, a metal foil such as aluminum, and a material such as a plastic sheet can be used, and a printable sheet is preferably used.

  The object of modeling means an origami theme. For example, a crane that should be completed with origami. In addition, the work means a finished product obtained by folding an origami sheet.

  According to the origami sheet of the present invention, it is possible to easily confirm whether or not the work has been completed in the shape as planned. In addition, the completed work can be used as a playground equipment.

  Hereinafter, examples of the origami sheet will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an origami sheet according to the first embodiment. FIG. 1A shows the front surface of the origami sheet according to the first embodiment, and FIG. 1B shows the back surface of the origami sheet. As shown in FIG. 1, the origami sheet according to the first embodiment includes a sheet 10 having a window hole 20 and an indicia 30.

  The sheet 10 is a bendable sheet used for origami. The material of the sheet 10 is preferably a material that can maintain the folded state when the sheet 10 is folded. In general, it is often made of paper such as colored paper or Chiyo paper, but the material is not limited to paper. For example, a metal foil such as aluminum, or a plastic film or resin may be used. Further, the sheet 10 need not be made of a single material, and a plurality of materials may be used. For example, a plurality of materials may be laminated together. Furthermore, various processes can be added as necessary. For example, a coating process or a mirror surface process may be added to the surface of the sheet. Further, the shape is typically a square shape, but is not limited thereto. Any shape can be used as long as it can be used for origami.

  The sheet 10 is formed with a part of a window hole 20 penetrating the front and back, and at least one indicia 30 is arranged on one side. The mark 30 is formed so that the mark 30 is positioned in the window hole 20 when the sheet is bent by a procedure corresponding to the object to be modeled. The shape of the window hole 20 may be any shape. Moreover, the symbol 30 can use a design, a symbol, a number, a character, and other arbitrary signs. FIG. 1 shows an example in which a circular window hole 20 is opened in the sheet 10 and a feather-shaped mark 30 is arranged on the back surface.

  Note that the positions of the window holes 20 and the indicia 30 in FIG. 1 are merely examples, and are not limited thereto. The origami sheet according to the present invention predetermines one or more modeling objects for each sheet 10. And according to the said modeling object, the mutual position with the arrangement position of the mark 30 as the formation position of the window hole 20 is determined. If the positional relationship is such that the mark 30 appears from the window hole 20 when the work is accurately completed, the positions of the window hole 20 and the mark 30 can be arbitrarily set.

  Next, a method for using the origami sheet configured as described above will be described.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a case where the modeling object is a semi-finished object as an example of using the origami sheet according to the present invention. 2, the same reference numerals are given to the same components as those in FIG. 1. 10 indicates a sheet, 20 indicates a window hole, and 30 indicates a mark. FIG. 2A shows the back surface of the origami sheet. First, the sheet 10 is placed in the direction shown in FIG. 5A and is bent so that the upper and lower corners a and c overlap with each other with the left and right corners b and d as creases. Next, as shown in FIG. 4B, the right corner b and the left corner d are bent along the dotted line. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 2C, the two corners b and d are bent diagonally downward along the dotted line. Next, as shown in FIG. 4D, after the corner c is folded down, the corner a is folded down along the dotted line. Finally, as shown in FIG. 5E, the left and right sides are folded back obliquely along the alternate long and short dash line. Then, as shown in FIG. 4F, a semi-origami work is completed.

  In this way, when the sheet 10 is bent according to the procedure corresponding to the object to be modeled, as shown in FIG. 2 (F), the finished work is arranged with the window hole 20 and the mark 30 at the same position. A sign 30 appears from the hole 20. If the folding method is wrong or the folding method is bad, that is, if the manufacturer does not fold the sheet according to the procedure corresponding to the object to be modeled, the positions of the window hole 20 and the mark 30 will be shifted. No sign from 20 appears. Therefore, the producer can confirm whether or not the work has been completed in the expected shape, depending on whether or not the mark 30 appears from the window hole 20 on the completed work.

  Further, in the middle of creating the origami work, the object to be shaped can be accurately made by folding the window hole 20 so that the mark 30 appears. For example, when the corner a is folded down at the stage of FIG. 2D, it is necessary to fold it down with a slight shift between the upper corner a and the lower corner c as shown by the dotted line. At this time, it is possible to fold the window 30 so that the mark 30 appears, so that the shift width can be optimized, so that the modeling object can be accurately made. As a result, the producer can finish the work neatly.

  Note that the modeling target is not limited to a cicada, and an arbitrary modeling target can be used.

  Hereinafter, another embodiment of the origami sheet will be described. In addition, what is shown with the same code | symbol in each drawing shows the same structure.

  FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of an origami sheet according to the second embodiment. 3A shows the front surface of the sheet, and FIG. 3B shows the back surface of the sheet. As shown in FIG. 3A, the origami sheet of this embodiment is configured by arranging a marker 40 on the surface of the sheet 10 in addition to the same configuration as that of the first embodiment.

  Here, the marker 40 serves as a mark indicating the orientation of the sheet 10. For example, when the sheet 10 is started to be folded according to the procedure corresponding to the modeling target, the mark is a reference for the direction in which the sheet 10 is placed. For example, if the marker 40 is described in the folding diagram as shown in FIG. 2 and the position of the marker 40 at the start of folding is indicated, the orientation of the sheet 10 to be folded can be determined by the producer. Can be easily grasped, so that the work can be produced without making a mistake in the orientation of the seat.

  When using the origami sheet, if the paper is folded in the wrong direction at the first stage, the sign 30 does not appear from the window hole 20 even if the work is finished at first glance. In order for the mark 30 to appear from the window hole 20 of the completed work, it is necessary to start folding the sheet in a predetermined direction. Therefore, by arranging the marker 40 on the sheet 10, it becomes possible for the producer to easily grasp the orientation of the sheet, and to promote the accuracy of the work so that a mark appears more reliably in the window hole of the work. . In addition, although the example which arrange | positions the marker 40 on the surface of the sheet | seat 10 was shown in FIG. 3, it is good also as what arrange | positions the marker 40 on the back surface or both surfaces.

  FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of an origami sheet according to the third embodiment. 4A shows the front surface of the sheet, and FIG. 4B shows the back surface of the sheet. As shown in FIG. 4A, the origami sheet of this embodiment is configured by displaying a fold line 50 on the surface of the sheet 10 in addition to the same configuration as that of the first embodiment.

  Here, the fold line 50 is displayed corresponding to the modeling object, and is a line that serves as a mark when the sheet is folded. A fold line 50 in FIG. 4A is an example of a fold line when the modeling object is a semi-finished object. When the sheet 10 is folded according to the procedure corresponding to the modeling object, the work can be easily and accurately created by folding along the folding line 50. 4 shows an example in which the fold line 50 is displayed on the front surface of the sheet 10, the fold line 50 may be displayed on the back surface or both surfaces.

  FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of an origami sheet according to the fourth embodiment. FIG. 5A shows the front surface of the sheet, and FIG. 5B shows the back surface of the sheet. As shown in FIG. 5A, the origami sheet of this embodiment is configured by arranging a marker 40 on the surface of the sheet 10 and displaying a folding line 50 in addition to the same configuration as that of the first embodiment. Is done.

  The marker 40 is a mark indicating the orientation of the sheet 10 as in the second embodiment, and the fold line 50 is displayed corresponding to the object to be modeled, as in the third embodiment, and is a mark for folding the sheet. It is a line. This makes it possible for the producer to easily grasp the orientation of the sheet 10 when starting to fold, and to accurately create a work.

  In Example 5, a plurality of indicia are arranged on an origami sheet. The indicia may be arranged in a lattice, may be arranged according to a predetermined rule, or may be arranged randomly. In addition, as the shape of the sign, a design, a number, a symbol, a character, or any other sign can be used.

  FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of an origami sheet according to the fifth embodiment. 6A to 6E show the back side of the sheet. The surface of the sheet may be the same as that shown in Examples 1 to 4. Or, a mark may be placed on the surface of the sheet.

  FIG. 6A shows a plurality of types of symbols arranged in a grid. FIG. 5B shows a combination of a plurality of types of symbols and numbers arranged in an oblique manner. FIG. 3C shows random numbers arranged in a lattice pattern. FIG. 4D shows a plurality of types of symbols and numbers arranged at random locations. FIG. 5E shows a plurality of types of symbols and numbers that are randomly selected and arranged in a grid.

  According to Example 5, even if the objects to be modeled are the same, there are many variations in the indicia appearing from the window hole of the finished work, depending on the combination of the mark hole forming position and the arrangement position. It becomes possible to make it. Therefore, until the work is completed, it is not known which sign will appear from the window hole, so the creator can make a work while expecting what sign will appear and having fun. In addition, even if the objects to be modeled are the same, different signs can appear, so that the creator can create many works and collect works.

  If a plurality of types of signs are given meaning, it is possible to play a lottery, fortune-telling, games, etc. by using the signs that appear from the window holes of the completed work. For example, when a work is used as a character of a battle game, the work itself can be used as a game piece, and the attributes and power level of the character can be expressed by a sign appearing from a window hole. At this time, a sign appearing from the window hole may be set according to the degree of difficulty for completing the work.

  As in the first embodiment, it can be confirmed whether or not the work has been completed correctly depending on whether or not the mark appears in the window hole of the finished work without shifting.

  In Example 6, a plurality of window holes are formed in the origami sheet. Preferably, the number of indicia equal to or greater than the number of window holes formed in the origami sheet is arranged. Here, the formation positions of the plurality of window holes and the arrangement positions of the marks are provided so that the marks are positioned in the plurality of window holes when the sheet is bent according to a procedure corresponding to the modeling object. . Preferably, the window hole and the mark are arranged so that the mark appears from all the plurality of window holes.

  FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram of an origami sheet according to the sixth embodiment. FIG. 7A shows the front surface of the sheet, and FIG. 7B shows the back surface of the sheet. As shown in FIG. 7A, the sheet 10 is formed with two window holes 20, and two indicia 30 are arranged. Here, the formation position of the two window holes 20 and the arrangement position of the two indicia 30 are set so that the indicia in the two window holes 20 are positioned when the two window holes 20 are folded according to the procedure corresponding to the modeling object. Is provided. Therefore, when the sheet shown in FIG. 7 is used and the sheet is folded according to the procedure corresponding to the object to be modeled, a mark appears in each of the two window holes in the completed work. In addition, you may arrange | position a marker to the sheet | seat 10 or display a fold line as needed. Marks may be arranged on both sides of the sheet 10.

  According to the sixth embodiment, it is possible to more accurately confirm whether or not the work has been accurately completed by using a plurality of formed window holes. In addition, it is possible to determine the correctness of the procedure in the middle stage by making a mark appear in a specific window hole in the middle stage of producing the origami work. Further, since a plurality of indicia can appear for one work, more complicated rule setting can be made when the produced work is used for lottery, fortune-telling, games, etc., and the game performance can be further improved.

  The origami sheet of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention. For example, the modeling object is arbitrary, and the position of the window hole and the mark can be arbitrarily set as long as the mark appears from the window hole when the work is accurately completed.
