Paper lanterns change the atmosphere with the light.
They are great table decorations. At the workshop, we will use LED tealights that don’t get hot, so they are safe.

Love a little Japan on my table in Sydney.

11 years since the East Japan disaster

11 years on since 2011

2013Corso

I folded a giant crane on the stage in Manly, Corso in 2013.
It was one of the stage events for the charity after the East Japan Disaster in 2011.
Manly beach is one of the popular tourist spots and you can walk to the beach from the Corso.
Many people saw our stage and we collected donations.
People are so kind about donations and they enjoyed many performances on the stage.
The donations went to the Rainbow Projet for inviting Japanese children in Fukushima who has lost their houses and families to Sydney for a holiday trip.

Happy 1st anniversary, T Magazine!

Created an origami work for the magazine

Tmagazine

My response to the Talented Jordan Turner’s request for their magazine.
T Magazine turns 1. Congratulations, T Magazine!

Paper is a canvas to create, a page to write on. It is a medium to cut, fold and reinvent. Whatever the way you choose to tell the story you want to share, we can all connect with one thing. The act of holding that piece of paper in front of you and watching ideas come to life. That is the paper’s performance.

Dinner meeting with Consulate-General of Japan, Sydney

311 event team since 2011

Dinner with Consul-General

The news about the East Japan disaster in 2011 moved many people to do action.
I was one of them, I felt I wanted to do something to help people in Japan…. I think many Japanese who live overseas felt the same way.
Then I contacted Yukiko Hirano, a local Manly resident who started collecting donations for Japan. I saw her article in the local newspaper in March 2011.

Since then, I have helped Yukiko here and there for her events.
She has invited young Japanese to Sydney as exchange students, so they can enjoy playing in nature, learning the different cultures. She made programs, found host families and selections of places to visit, etc. She had run through with her amazing energy and lots of love.
Mr Masahiko Kiya who is a current Consul-general of Japan, Sydney has invited us to the dinner.
The attendees: Consul-General of Japan Sydney Kiya Masahiko, Yukiko Hirano, Ren Yano, Tae Gessner, Haruka Shinno and Midori Furze

We talked about future events in Sydney for Japanaroo 2022.

I found my Kimono bird in the room. So delighted to meet her again!

Happy 1st Wedding Anniversary!

Happy 1st Wedding Anniversary Couple

Happy 1st Wedding Anniversary

The first Wedding Anniversary is PAPER!

I have met many happy couples who wanted to do some special events for their first Wedding Anniversary.
Because the first wedding anniversary is paper, they came to the origami workshop to make special origami artworks.

They always tell me some lovely episodes.
Today’s couple told me so many heartwarming stories. One of them is how he proposed to her. Fantastic.

Congratulations and wish both of you happy and lovely lives together forever.
