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.

Moon Bunny

Moon Bunny

Can you see a bunny on the moon?

In October in Japan, we celebrate a full moon night with special sweets and plants.
We call it “OTUKIMI” and enjoy watching a beautiful full moon.

I have received a request to make an origami work with the theme of the moon bunny.
So here it is. A bunny family enjoy watching a big moon.
