The Nakamura Lock, a schoolyard classic worldwide. It has a name, but no apparent origin; an Eiji Nakamura did publish a book Flying Origami in 1972, but no such plane can be found within.
The only source I can find is a Reddit comment stating that the design is named after Nakamura for having invented the type of fold that holds the plane together (https://redd.it/j2yjsd https://redd.it/j2yjsd)
- navane 4y agoHe is not folding the Nakamura lock, as far as my googling goes. The nakamura lock starts with a perfect 90 degrees tip (two 45 degree folds), whereas OP starts with two 22.5 degree folds that don't form a a tip).
