Origami Yacht Race
Fold with fun
We didn’t have the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race this Summer, but we still had fun folding origami yacht at the workshop.
It was my first time wearing the face shield!

Exhibition is cancelled
Exhibition has cancelled due to Covid outbreak
I am one of the artists who were excited to do the exhibition tomorrow, however, we are disappointed as it has been cancelled due to the Covid outbreak in our area.
Every work has been completed. I prepared some information sheets, price tags and cards… I was ready!
Now a little sadness creeping into my mind. I can’t show and sell my latest works at the exhibition.
Let’s hope that we will celebrate it with the families and friends together, we only have 7 days to Christmas…

Origami Cats Family
Challenge to make a big cat
I responded for a request to make a large origami.
It is easy to make origami with the regular size, 15x15cm origami paper.
But not so easy to make a big one.
At first, I had to look for a large paper which I can still fold nicely.
Here is the biggest cat I have ever made….so far.
Moon Bunny
Can you see a bunny on the moon?
In October in Japan, we celebrate a full moon night with special sweets and plants.
We call it “OTUKIMI” and enjoy watching a beautiful full moon.
I have received a request to make an origami work with the theme of the moon bunny.
So here it is. A bunny family enjoy watching a big moon.
First Wedding Anniversary – PAPER!!
What is the best present for the first wedding anniversary?
The first wedding anniversary is paper.
So why don’t you fold origami for your special day with your partner.
My unique workshop is designed just for a first wedding anniversary couple.
I’d like to help you create a wonderful event.
Spread the love for origami
Attend the 60th birthday celebration for our Emperor
.
Honoured to be invited!
I am so delighted to receive the invitations each time from Consulate of Japan, Sydney for their functions since 2015.
To show my gratitude, I created an artwork with cranes to the birthday gift. And I wish our Emperor for his long & healthy life.
There are many important Japanese businesses in Sydney which have been contributed a lot to the economy. But the Consulate of Japan recognises my glass-root activities for origami. That’s a huge encouragement not only for me, but also all the enthusiasts for the Japanese culture without being in big organisations. We love our culture and we are working very hard in Sydney.
The word “Origami” came from Japanese word, but the origami is for everyone, not only for Japanese.
When I look around me, there are more non-Japanese origamists whom I really respect them and their works.
I will just do what I can do and spread the love of origami.
I also want to know what others do and we can connect and create origami future together.

Beauty of impermanence
Mono no Aware
“Mono no Aware” is a Japanese term for the beauty of impermanence.
I was inspired by a lot of holes on leaves in the English style rose garden.
I made 108 paper leaves then I cut out holes one by one.
I made more than 3,000 beautiful holes in total. Wow what a number!
I am so glad that it went very well as I planned and I am overwelmed to receive many possitive comments about my origami installation.
