Kusudama – “Mitsuya Kiriko”
I bought this book a year ago by Tomoko Fuse (布施 知子) called "Kusudama Origami - Hanakiriko" (くす玉おりがみ - 花切子). I can read what the Japanese says, but I don't know what it means!

Rosebud and calyx kusudama

Since I've been wanting to learn how to make proper plushies, I present …
