Origami Koinobori Project & Tutorial Video on YouTube

Origami Koinobori (Koi Fish Streamer) Project

Origami Koi Fish Kite

I’d like to show you my Koinobori. I have run this origami project and made the Koinobori at schools and community groups. I hope you will like it as much as I do.
People in Japan hoist their Koinobori to celebrate Children’s day. The Koinobori in the video are different from the traditional Koinobori. They are made with many origami samurai hats (Kabuto).
Additional information: The Koi fish head is attached to a wire coat hanger. Recommend to laminate the head.
Happy folding~!

Join us for the origami project!
In April and May 2021, Japan Foundation in Sydney (Level 4, Central Park 28 Broadway Chippendale NSW) runs the origami project. Anyone can join the fun.
You can make a samurai hat and it will be a part of the koinobori.
This project was well-received at an origami workshop in Tonga, 2019, which I was invited to by The Japan Foundation. I particularly like that this project is based around the concept that people can work together to create a large collaborative work while anyone can participate in at their own pace.
Furthermore, I think this is a project that suits our current situation, where social gatherings are restricted but our desire to be connected with others remains. The Japanese hoist koinobori every year in May, allowing them to swim in the blue skies of spring in Japan. It is these koinobori that wish for children’s good health. I wish that our origami koinobori brings us similar good health here.
