Flock of Geese flew to a new home

My work found a new home!

my work found a new home

My latest origami work, flock of geese found a new home.
The organiser told me that it was a popular work and she wanted to buy it but it was out-bid!

I was in Spain, so I couldn’t go there so I am glad to hear the good news.

they raised almost $12,000 at the Art Gallery of NSW charity exhibition.
All the money went to Women & Girls Emergency Centre in Redfern.

Origami & Chigiri-e, Flock of Geese

Watching the geese flying

FlockOfGeeseFramed

More than one thousand years ago, female writer Sei shonagon wrote in her famous Pillow Book, “The best time of the day in Autumn is the sun set…. It is more interesting to see that the flock of geese are flying far away……”

1000年以上前の随筆集、枕草子に女流作家の清少納言がこう書きました。“秋は夕暮れ。(中略)まいて雁などの連ねたるがいと小さく見ゆるは、いとおかし(後略)”

I created this artwork responding to Sei shonagon’s quote.
The big moon in the sky watches the flock of geese in the early hours of the evening. I always enjoy watching the flock of geese flying in the sky.

清少納言が書いたことに対する私なりの表現をアートで表しました。
日が沈んだばかりの空に大きなお月様が顔を出し、雁の群れをみまもっています。雁の群れを見るといつも素敵で、なんとも穏やかな気持ちにさせてくれます。

I donated this artwork for Art Gallery of NSW staff charity exhibition.
All the money will go to Women & Girls Emergency Centre in Redfern.

Record number visitors saw my Sumi-e and origami

Ryokan Gojyuan Open day

Ryokan Gojyuan is an unique Japanese style accommodation in Sydney.
The Australian & owner, Linda loves Japan and she renovated her home into a small Ryokan. Once you step inside, you feel like you are already in Japan!

She organises Japanese cultural workshops and I run origami workshops and Koto no Wa workshops monthly.
We had an open day in August 2018, we had a record number of visitors.

The visitors admired my origami artworks and sumi ink drawings. Feel so great to chat with people who like the Japanese culture.
I wore kimono and also played the koto, Japanese traditional musical instrument. It was a really nice day.

Midoro played koto.
