311 Paper Cranes

311 Paper Cranes

Folded With Love

My 311 Paper Cranes installation was displayed at the East Japan disaster commemoration event.

Big thanks to my helpers. I couldn’t have done so well without them and I received a lot of nice feedback about my installation.

Mr Kiya, the Consul of General in Sydney congratulated me for making it.

The main stage events also went very well. I was honoured to meet energetic performers, wonderful volunteer staff, visitors and the sponsors that evening.

The event was on the news on TBS and the reporter was Hiroki Iijima.

Many different Origami Boxes are available

Responded to the request for the origami box workshop.
I have been searching for the origami boxes which are something easy and quick but look impressive…
There are so many different origami boxes I can teach for the beginners.
I think these boxes in the image (Photographed by Midori) are very cool! (and surprisingly steady and strong.)

Refreshing my memory is also fun and makes me very excited!

Would you like to fold them with me?!

Origami Koala for charity

Fun with origami and raise money for koalas

I was invited to the Cherrybrook Shopping Village to run the origami workshop.
They asked me to do the koalas and put the donation box for Wires.
What a lovely thoughts! Everyone enjoyed the workshop and made many cute koalas.
