Dear Gerardo
This is my investigation about Origami spining top, at 8 May 2019. https://blog.naver.com/titan101/221532361589 --------------------------------------------- About the author of Origami spining top(Paper blade, おりがみコマ) day/month/year 5/3/2007 The view that it is a variation of the Himauri brooch(ひまわりのブローチ) by Kyoko Nakahara(中原恭子), which was included in the Moving Origami(動くおりがみ)(1992) by Tomoko Fuse(布施知子) https://gayasan.exblog.jp/5993471/ ※But I think brooches and tops are different areas so should be viewed separately. 1/25/2007 Tanteidan Magazine No.101 - Makoto Yamaguchi(山口真) announced it named 'Makoto koma(マコトコマ)' http://www.origami.gr.jp/Magazine/Index/97-102.html 9/1/2006 There is a record of making a top by three pieces of paper in the NOA monthly origami magazine 374(月刊おりがみ 374号). https://www.fujisan.co.jp/product/1281681367/b/117643/ 8/21/2006 She learned it from the Silver Lessons. http://blog.livedoor.jp/fmtouch/archives/50671367.html 6/8/2006 She saw it at the Center https://plaza.rakuten.co.jp/nyginnofue/diary/200606080001/ --------------------------------------------- 1. 1st publication is Makotama by Yamaguchi Makoto, 2007-1-25 2. You may think Yamaguchi made it and taught it to others before, but in that sense, there was no mention about the author at all.
