Small delicate work with a big achievement
I visited a Special Paper Shop, “Kami no Ondo” near Atsuta Shrine in Nagoya.
The huge shop has so many different types of papers on display.
It was amazing! So delightful!
Back in Sydney, I experimented with my pineapple pulp to make paper. The result was fantastic.
I love making paper and would love to experiment more.
(Below is a part of the shop, I think more than 20 times bigger.)
Wow! I was interviewed by Shina Fly!
A YouTuber, Shina Fly interviewed me.
She is a really nice and fun person to talk to.
She likes origami and we made many origami together.
Play with Origami Pets!
Filming the origami tutorial for the Online Pet Festival at Willoughby Council.

Hope many children (and adults like me!) will have fun with the tutorials we made today.
Willoughby Pet Festival will be on Saturday 10th October.

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.
