The Snow-capped Sonobe is another variation on the Sonobe created by Mitsunobu Sonobe. This variation is created by Meenakshi Mukerji and is from her book 'Marvelous Origami'. 

Two-sided paper, coloured on one side works best for this model, though that is not what I have used!

Christmas is almost here!! I love this time of the year. And this year, to add to the usual joy of Christmas, I will also try and add as many posts on Christmas origami as possible :) And to kickstart this season of love, here is a Sunken Sonobe 3 unit assembly.

The usual 3 unit sonobe assembly is called Toshie's Jewel, folded by Toshie Takahama. The sunken sonobe is a variation from the sonobe units, one I like a lot! The units are not that easy to assemble, at least the 3-unit version of sunken sonobes, but they make lovely Christmas tree decorations.
