description Fish Base Overview
The fish base is a traditional origami base folded from a square sheet of paper. It is identified by four triangular flaps, typically arranged as two longer flaps and two shorter flaps, and it provides a starting structure for models with fish-like or other animal forms. Because it uses standard folds rather than a single finished subject, the base is taught as a reusable building block in traditional origami.
help Fish Base FAQ
What is the fish base in origami?
The fish base is a traditional origami structure folded from a square sheet of paper. It has four triangular flaps, commonly arranged as two longer flaps and two shorter flaps.
What origami models use the fish base?
It can begin models shaped like fish and other animals with pointed fins or limbs. The base is a starting structure, so the final model depends on the creator's later folds.
How do you start a fish base?
A typical fish base begins with preliminary crease lines and folds that bring corners and edges into a symmetrical arrangement. Exact steps vary between diagrams, so the crease pattern should be followed for the chosen model.
Does the fish base require special paper?
No. It can be folded from ordinary square origami paper, although thin paper is easier for models with many later folds. A larger square is useful when learning the structure.
