Kamiya's Squid

Satoshi Kamiya allocates narrow sections of a single uncut square to the arms while reserving a larger region for the mantle. That structure requires dense pre-creasing and careful separation of multiple long flaps.

The model belongs to the complex style associated with Kamiya rather than introductory origami. A folder should already be comfortable with precise pre-creasing, sinks, flap management, and shaping a model whose limbs emerge close together.

The design follows the single-square, no-cut approach used for many of Kamiya's complex animals. Its mantle and multiple arms are produced by redistributing the paper rather than attaching separate pieces.

The Squid concentrates complexity into a compact marine body and a cluster of narrow arms. Kamiya's Ryujin models instead devote enormous crease patterns to a dragon's scales, legs, head, and elongated body.
