Information about the model, from members of the origami mailing list:
Sy Chen Larry Davis told me he learned it from one of the Taiwanese books. I don't have the book to confirm it.
Susan Wettling It's on page 79 of a book that includes only letter folds and envelope folds, ISBN 957-692-005-1.
Janet Hamilton Sure enough! The lady at the bookshop translated the title of this book as "Fold a Letter for You".
Marcia Mau Besides the ELFA publications, I know of only one other publication on letterfolds. It is a Chinese book, ISBN 957-692-005-1 which I believe was printed in Taiwan at a cost of NT$180. I have another book of mainly traditional folds (not envelope folds) which appears to be in the same series, ISBN 957-692-003-5. I have copies of both books but I can't read the titles. Several of the letterfolds in the first book involve cutting, including the rabbit fold which appears on pp 60-61 of Kitamura's Origami Treasure Chest. Does anyone know of other publications containing only letterfolds? I have seen individual letterfolds in Jackson's The Complete Origami Course, Mulatinho's book, & NOA magazines.
