Origami Grampus (Fumiaki Kawahata)
""In Japan 'Grampus' is a common alternative way of describing a killer whale. The kanji character for grampus can be interpreted in two ways; one reading is “shachi,” which is the Japanese for grampus.
The other interpretation is 'Shachihoko', which represents a monster with the head of a tiger and the tail of a carp. A gold-plated pair of these beasts adorns the top of Nagoya Castle in Japan.""

Fumiaki Kawate created both interpretations: "Grampus", as shown above and also "Shachihoko", also shown in the first comment box.
I used a sheet of satogami-paper 35x35 to fold this origami "Grampus".
Final seize about 12cm tall and 12 cm width.
Name: Shachihoko (Grampus) without Explicit Scale Foldinq
