STAR CAGE
ORIGAMI JIG FOR PLEIADES
©2000 Akio HIZUME ?
In 1995 I published a paper describing the Pleiades, a chain of six pentagrams.
In 1999, I developed and mass-produced the concept as a science toy called Starcage #5. Some people can already assemble Pleiades themselves. I can assemble it within five minutes. But most people find it difficult to assemble. So I invented an Origami jig for assembling the Pleiades in 2000. At last, everybody can assemble it themselves.
The jig consists of twelve pieces. You must fold each piece and make a windmill as shown in the following picture.
After you prepare twelve windmills, join each piece together. You don't need any glue.
Finally, you complete the icosi-dodecahedron which has channels.
Next, insert a piece of Pleiades into each channel. The channels now serve as guides which allow you to easily complete the Pleiades.
