Chris, pardon my ignorance! Yeah, the more I check, the more it looks to be
so. I am pretty clueless when it comes to kusudamas but come to think of
it, the first one I did (and probably the only one that I have ever done)
when I was a kid was assembled with glue from multiple units of the cootie
catcher.

I was under the impression that most traditional kusudama used needle
and thread or paste of some kind?

Yep - glue required! Many of the traditional kusudamas are not modular origami 
models and require glue, although the one I made many years ago had no glue - I 
just had to use needle and thread!

If it is not, please advise the name of the designer. I had the impression
that this is a traditional model but according to Ronald Koh, this model
appeared in one of Yamaguchi Makoto's books although he is not sure if it
is Yamaguchi's design.

As 'Butterfly', in Kusudama Ball Origami (ISBN 0-87040-863-1), page 70 - 
73.
