Kawasaki’s rose
This Kawasaki’s Rose is folded from a single piece of paper without cutting. The stem is made from steel wire, wrapped in crepe paper. The single leaf is also folded without cutting. I folded the rose in about 30 mins and the leaf in about 10 mins. The rest of the stem and the assembly took me about another 20 mins so all in all the whole rose took about 1 hour to make.
Kawasaki’s rose is a famous origami piece by Toshikazu Kawasaki, while the stem and the single rose leaf is my little variation of the theme. Most Kawasaki’s roses I have seen use this base instead. Some also uses a vase, but I thought it looks better and more realistic this way.

i was wondering, how did you attach the stem to the rose?
The stem is made from a piece of steel wire, wrapped around in crepe paper. I used some glue to stick it through the bottom of the rose.
hi, can you send me some instructions for the leaf? I’m making a gift for my girlfriend.
thx
hello, i’ve been folding kawasaki roses for a while now, and i really like your stem+leaf!
could you please send me the instructions for the leaf?
Hm, I don’t have particular instructions for the leaf and stem, but this is roughly how I did it:
1. Use a small square piece of green paper and fold it twice
2. Open it up and fold the two creases inward
3. Fold the edges into neat triangles on both sides until it resembles a rhombus-like leaf as above
4. Crease the leaf accordingly as you like it to simulate the leaf
5. Using a piece of green wire (the type you tie loose wires with), place it into the opening under the leaf
6. For the stem, I used a piece of hard thick wire (get it at some hardware shop) and wrapped crepe paper around it. Before wrapping the crepe paper, be sure to tie the green wire from the leaf on to the stem first.
7. You should find a small hole at the bottom of the rose. Insert the stem into it.
To make things more ‘permanent’ I used a glue gun and glued the stem to the rose.
Hope this helps!
Wow, your rose looks so much better than mine!!! Can you provide instructions for how you got the final petals to look the way they do?
Thks! I didn’t do anything different from the instructions really, but I experimented with the petals a few times after completion, trying to smoothen out the edges and bending them in ways that looks more aesthetically pleasing. Nothing special really.
very fine to look.
i have made a base for kawasaki rose .
it includes a stem with 3 leaves.
where & how i can publish it?

Hi saush,
May I know the dimension of paper you’re using to fold this beautiful kawasaki rose? 20cm x 20cm?
Hi, the paper is a standard A4 paper which I made out a square by folding it diagonally once and removing the extra rectangular strip.
The instructions are in the post and in comment no. 11.

Hi your rose is really awesome!!! I have tried making it off the instructions over and over again but I can’t seem to make them :( any advice?
Anyways I found out that the kawasaki rose on youtube is nothing like this, but you could attach a rose (from this site: http://www.bloom4ever.com/howto/howto01.htm) to the “youtube” rose (with the bigger one being the “youtube” one and a paper ratio of about 1.7:1)
Teach me!!! Thanks!
