Imagine getting up with other ranks and no small space at top in craft (7)
I believe the answer is:
origami
'craft' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Japanese craft' mean 'origami' so perhaps 'craft' could also mean 'origami')
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for origami that I've seen before include "Oriental art of paper folding" , "folding process" , "Artwork with paper" , "The folding of sheets" , "Art originally created in simple materials to design bird forms" .)
