In this clip, I will show you how to fold a traditional Masu Box with bottom and a top and a inside division. First, we will make the bottom part of the box. This is a rather simple model and it can be found in the 'Origami Handbook' by Rick Beech. Starting with a blitz space, we are going to fold each of the edges of the blitz space into the center like a cupboard fold. Open these cupboards, turn the unit and do the same thing on the other two edges making sure that the blitz stays in place when you fold the cupboards. And, do the same thing on the topside. Now, open it back up to the blitz and taking the side two corners open it back out so that it looks like this. Refold these edges back to the center and then turning the unit, so that it's up and down. Notice, that there are these diagonal lines right here. This is the bottom of the box. We are going to lift up this edge, pushing these two diagonals in. So, that it forms one of the edges of the box. And, then folding this whole flap down inside the box. Same thing on the other side, pushing the two diagonal folds in. Pushing up this edge, fold the flap down inside the box. This completes the bottom of your Masu Box.
