Modular Origami: Sonobe

Sonobes.

Sonobe Cubes

The name itself came from the creator of this category in Modular Origami,
Mitsunobe Sonobe

Identical to many other fields of origamis, Sonobe module is made using a square piece of paper, they can be linked together through flaps-and-pockets without the help of any adhesive tools, and could form a great variety of shapes.

Modifying variations to the basic 
Sonobe units can even produce different types of shapes and create a more complex Modular Origami.

A basic Sonobe module is fairly easy to be folded, the instructions are as follow:
