I doubt that Ron was. I was not asked either. Technically, I wonder whether I would have been in a position to grant permission as the line drawing/tracing of that pig (folded by Gilad) was from a photograph taken by Gilad. Ron

The pose and dimensions looked so similar to the Cerceda/Yoshizawa pig that I jumped to a conclusion without first checking Engel's "Folding the Universe (Origami from Angelfish to Zen)" My Bad. Incidentally the drawing doesn't look like the one in the photograph on the restaurant site either. (click on the pig and then on the story of the pig) Weird. BTW Engel, who summarizes Yoshizawa's accusing Cerceda of theft, says that the Yoshizawa pig was published in 1945. Early by modern origami standards. I'd say there's good odds that the publication was in Japanese and hard to find. Thomas Sullivan

Hi All, I think that pig logo is a line drawing (with some additional creaselines) of Gilad Aharoni's rendition of Ronald Koh's pig : http://www.giladorigami.com/origami-database/Pig%20Ronald%20Koh Boon On Fri, Aug 14, 2015 at 6:31 AM, Peter Mielke wrote: > I was recently at a restaurant with what appears like origami in its > design: > > http://www.parossouvla.com/?page_id=15 > > Does anyone know who's pig this would be? >

I'm traveling, and don't have access to my book collection, but had a few random moments to kill, and went poking. This photo of the Cerceda pig in the Origami Database: http://origamidb.stagepics.co.uk/displayphoto.asp?ModelID=2580 argues that it is not that pig, unless the artist who did the drawing of the restaurant's logo went to the trouble of adding a bunch of arbitrary creaselines.
