In Secrets of Origami (my version is from 1963) the Novelty Purse is said to be Origin: Japan. There is no mention of Yoshizawa-san. The same design is indeed also published in 'Complete Origami', but, as you say, also without attribution. It also doesn't appear in Origami Dokuhon 1. I would love to see the evidence that it is a Yoshizawa design. Dave
