Origami Koinobori Project & Tutorial Video on YouTube

Origami Koinobori (Koi Fish Streamer) Project

Origami Koi Fish Kite

I’d like to show you my Koinobori. I have run this origami project and made the Koinobori at schools and community groups. I hope you will like it as much as I do.
People in Japan hoist their Koinobori to celebrate Children’s day. The Koinobori in the video are different from the traditional Koinobori. They are made with many origami samurai hats (Kabuto).
Additional information: The Koi fish head is attached to a wire coat hanger. Recommend to laminate the head.
Happy folding~!

My origami workshop video from the Japanaroo Opening Night is now available to everyone!
The simple bird and Ninja star are traditional origami but I created the variations with my own ideas.
Eastern Spinebill is the bird on the Australian $5 note.
There are more than 180 species of Honey Eaters in the world and 80 of them live in Australia. Eastern Spinebill is one of them.
Do you know the bird on the $5 note flaps its wings if you tilt the note back and forth?
