Hi!!! The largest collection of antique Zhen Xian Bao that I know of are in the PaDoRe Archive (on documentation and historical research of the art of paper folding), which is run by Joan Sallas. In 2017, I was fortunate enough to see them in person and hear Joan Sallas and Xiaoxián Huáng discuss their research and how they uncovered their histories. From that moment on, the Madrid group of the Spanish Origami Association (AEP) was swept up in a frenzy to make these Chinese boxes and give them as gifts.
Kindest regards, Inmaculada Lora Toro ----------------------------------------------------------- I have never seen this before, amazing!Does the original Chinese Thread Book have the origami folds on top?This would be the souped-up version of the Japanese tato Chinese thread book??https://www.facebook.com/reel/1821910411815812 Here is some history:? https://bookzoompa.wordpress.com/2024/03/03/zhen-xian-bao-a-modest-history/ Thank you, Diana -- "Cuando las manos están ocupadas, el corazón está en paz" Akira Yoshizawa
