1.   A pair of women, their fingers bandaged, pluck pancakes from the two ovens, manually insert the fortunes and make the folds.

2.   The program creates printed guidelines showing where the paper should be folded and then uses animation to help you make the folds.

4.   Until that time, all folds were made by hand or with chopsticks.
