Paper Crane Speed Challenge
How many paper cranes can you fold in 5 minutes?
My new origami project,”Paper Crane Speed Challenge” was on!
It was held at the Japanaroo+ Zoom Opening night on Friday 3rd December 2021.
I made two videos for the project, the Paper Crane instruction video & tips for speed folding.
So people can watch and practice towards the challenge day.
It was a fun challenge!
Origami Koinobori Project & Tutorial Video on YouTube
Origami Koinobori (Koi Fish Streamer) Project
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~!

Sunshine in Tonga – origami project
Origami Koi fish kite project
.
27-30 August 2019, I was invited by Japanese Embassy in Tonga and Japan Foundation, Sydney to run origami project / workshops in Tonga. It was a wonderful opportunity for me, so happy to be there.
Children’s happy faces were so beautiful. They were also very keen to learn origami!
I collected about 270 origami samurai helmets and made 2 Koinobori for Tonga.
The Koi Fish Kite (Koinobori) were presented to Tonga Red Cross and Japanese Embassy in Tonga.
Thank you, Miho and all the people in Tonga!!
