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

[@project7442]

It truly is cuz you’ve skipper a lot of levels of origami

[@niharikanav4262]

You’ll get the hang of it

[@alexandern3345]

Good Möring

[@Appilesh]

Just go one step at a time, treat each fold as if it's the only step, and you will end up with the finished product

[@AleksandraK00]

lmao 😆

[@AirborneMark]

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.

[@AirborneMark]

Thank you Jo. The rabbit is not the first mural based on a model folded from your instructions. Hope you will find a moment sometime to check out the video and see how I turned the model into large scale graffiti murals.

[@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.

[@odium3691]

There are tons of reference points. You could have seen them with a bit of editing. Not everyone has tiny perfect Asian hands.

[@jonakashima]

@@odium3691 that comment was about steps without reference points. I can't edit and show a reference point that does not exists

[@yolauraquienmas]

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

[@jq6463]

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

[@regine3915]

Make me wanna try !

[@Rose22096]

I got lost there too

[@featherozone]

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!

[@lazerushope3318]

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.

[@Zoe_LaRynn]

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 :)

[@jonakashima]

@sevisevisss always open to receive new translations to languages that have not been translated yet

[@galocalderon9078]

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.

[@thomaspigg306]

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!!!

[@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]

@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.

[@alvinliu8300]

It is easy to make, but hard to get it exactly symmetrical.

[@springy.acommenter5790]

Alvin Liu it takes a lot of practice

[@fredericchopin7332]

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!

@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)

[@marleendrenth7871]

I don´t understand how to make the hind-legs, but for the rest, it's a very cool rabbit :)

how many rabbit ear folds are in this?

[@BloodrageEngage]

this is a really nice model, ive never heard of Hsi-Min Tai before. the quality of your vids have gone up substantially too, i really like that you show the diagram of the step in the corner.

[@satori_genxyz]

Gah... gonna need bigger/finer paper to get those tricky back legs right >__>

[@alanbruno5449]

Martin Campbell true, i can't do this with my notebook pages haha

Try printer paper lmao

[@maryli6686]

Thank you sooooooo much!!! I loved this video cuz I had to make a b-day present for my BFF, who love bunnies. This was really helpful and I think no one should have hit thumbs down.

[@anninfifi]

this was so fun to do! i added two eyes and a cute little nose to it afterward

Thank you so much... it took me many rewinds but I finally made it all the way thru. ..and I have a little rabbit... You are so talented!!!

[@Patznn]

Oi! Qual é o nível de dificuldade desse coelhinho? Eu já fiz kusudama spring, rosa kawasaki... será que esse é mais difícil que estes? Obrigada e continue com o bom trabalho!

[@99PercentOffFreeHugs]

My god your videos are done so well, but I have a L-O-N-G way to go and many failures ahead of me this day before I de-rust my beginner skills enough for this rabbit. It's so beautiful though and your videos are so easy to follow that although the craft is more difficult on this rabbit that the easier rabbit folds of some videos I feel like i'll get this rabbit before I manage the simpler one because the people teaching make it impossible to learn. Here goes failure two... lol Thank you for all the work you put into your videos.

[@FayolaOnline]

I have a feeling his mothertongue is not a language you may even be familiar with. I think he is from france. So have a non-verbal video reaches more ppl in the long run. Not ever origami tutorial can be a huge production. I think his videos with the conventional folding diagrams are adequate. Maybe you can get familiar with origami diagrams to get a better sense of these tutorials.

[@nekoaballay6641]

me encanto tu vídeo!!!!!! re entendible 👏👏👏👏👏. saludos desde Argentina 2016!me salio el conejito!!!🐇

[@damianmalicki2085]

Where did you buy Copper Tissue Foil 20cm x 20cm? On origami-shop I saw only 30cm x 30cm and 60cm x 60cm.

[@johannamontalvorangel3157]

can i use normal paper to make origami o does it have to be the kind you use?

[@kai-qs4zf]

What thickness is recommended for the paper? Is 80 Gsm all right?

[@LobsterLover64]

please position the model where it is easier to see what you are doing. It is very hard to comprehend what is happening when it is covered by fingers or is at an odd angle

[@JerrikV]

Привет, Джо! Попробовал сделать фигурку из бумаги A4, моделька получилась, только у меня вышла не аккуратная :(, но выглядит потрясающе, спасибо! Google Translate: Hi, Jo! I folded figure out of paper A4, model turned out sloppy, but looks great, thanks!

[@filipeantunes3750]

jonakashima me de um conselho , eu sei fazer muitos origamis seus mas quando vou fazer em um papel melhor para guardar meu origami não fica muito bom qual papel vc me aconselha a compar para fazer ?

[@geetikamittal2826]

After half an hour of trying how to fold the legs, I gave up.

[@kusa86]

Happens the same to me, I can't fold the rear legs, I made all except that... can you make it more clear please?

[@mcparadip]

It worked fine for me though.

[@antoniskelesidis4602]

Same here. The design is nice but I can't stand tutorials that simply say "shape that part" and then the paper just folds no matter how with fingers blocking the way..

[@badawi1000]

Same but I did it and I am younger then you. I am 11

[@andrei4883]

badawi1000 well, congrats👏🏻:)), I’m 14 and I’m stumped at how to fold the rear legs...

Sorry mate, 11:23 is a fold without any reference points ? I know I'm a bit rude, and I'm sorry for my earlier emotional outburst but i'm short on paper ,,,

Thanks! Made it. The legs were tricky but the frustration was definitely worth it :)

[@khai7489]

Jo's origami is always nice but difficult to make 😣

[@alexmeister643]

You'll get the hang of it! Origamis don't have to look super-perfect, just keep going and have a good time doing them. Remember that practise makes perfect! :)

[@leeedwardroberts]

He has plenty of easy level models to make. Start with those and then progress up to the level of difficulty for the models you want to eventually make :) The difficulty level is always shown in the video description and I think he has playlists of tutorials organised by difficulty too. And don't forget, a lot of the models he makes use tissue foil paper. This makes a BIG difference to the end result.

[@denniswang7817]

This thing is really hard especially the inside reverse folds but I got it u really good folder

[@catherinedau3406]

I had a lot of fun doing it!

[@jonakashima]

😀

[@catherinedau3406]

Since I have real life bunnies, this origami one looks pretty similar. 😉

[@klozez]

I finished it and it turned out great I made it with really hard origami paper and it was a struggle to me because folding the paper was really hard and if I didnt do it right it would have ended ripping all over it :)

So we need to leave the english translation, and bellow english we put our translation?

[@cicaparlez]

Shape the hind leg?

[@kcthewanderer]

Try 1 - A beautiful little rabbit with mangled-ass hind legs.

[@kcthewanderer]

Try 2 - MUCH better, though I think my hind legs might need one more try. It might be helpful when you say "shape the hind legs" to show a still of the finished version in the other corner of the screen so that we know what we're shaping to. Just a thought. Thanks for the tutorial. It's a great model!

Congratulations man! Excelent video! But it's so hard at the A4 white paper xD But I got it... ugly, but got. What paper you use?

[@origamibuddies2040]

hey jonakashima, you can shape the body at the top for a more beautiful result

[@MikaHalonen1974]

I used too small paper. Next time it will be bigger. Awesome origami. Thx!

[@pomdapirouge]

Great model but kind of hard to make with all the sinks and tiny details. I coudnt reverse fold the top of head for instance

[@ks506soton]

Can sort of do it, but can't do back legs and ears. The paper rips there, there isn't enough to work with. I will just make up a leg myself..lol
