Farewell to the consulate of general, Japan

Farewell to the consulate of general, Japan

Farewell to Mr & Mrs Takewaka, the consulate of general, Japan, Sydney.
.

The consul-general of Japan in Sydney, Mr Takewaka was so wonderful, I wish he can stay in Sydney for many years.
I am sure many Sydney people have also missed him but we all wish him for his success in his next position, the ambassoder in Laos.

The photo was taken at the consul-general of Japan’s beautiful house.
It was nice taking photos with Mr & Mrs Takewaka, the violinist, Aiko Goto, the calligrapher, Ren Yano and I.

The drummers are Wadaiko Rindo.

Dozen Roses and special knot

Dozen Roses and special knot

Give me a smile each time I see it.

I hand painted with the traditional Japanese paints on Japanese washi paper.
Then folded origami roses one by one.
I added a knot with a red string – Double leaf knot is a very special knot which bring you a very good luck.

As a creator myself, I am so happy what I created.
Gives me a big smile each time I see the work.

Credit card commercial

While ago, I worked for the bank credit card commercial. It was a fantastic experience working with many different special talented people at Collider.
Here is their page:

Collider worked closely with origami artist Midori Furze to develop this spot for NAB Credit Cards. We recreated each of Furze’s two-times scaled paper models in CG and animated the folding in the spirit of stop-motion animation by using 3D blend-shapes.

Origami workshop at the Cherry Blossom Festival, World Square

Digital interaction game was appeared on the big screen. New type of Cherry blossoms festival was on at World Square, Sydney’s Town Hall.
The cherry blossoms on the screen was popped and fell when you moved your arms on the screen. So much fun!

No, no I was working there. I run the origami workshop there and participants can make some origami such as cherry blossoms.
