Do you know origami? Have you folded origami before?
Come and join the free origami workshop at Japan Expo on Saturday 3rd September!
Origami isn’t only for making flowers and animals. You can make a unique origami puzzle toy. Using your own fingers and brains are a great exercise for your health. The research shows that origami helps children in developing their thinking & mathematical skills and helps adults in keeping healthy lives. They say making origami is good because when people concentrate creating origami pieces, they stop thinking about their daily worries for a while.
Do you know that Origami, the traditional Japanese craft, is used not only in art, fashion & craft but also in architecture, space science and medical science? Origami attracts scientists and engineers attention. Do you know the airbags in cars use origami designs?
The origami techniques save people’s lives! Isn’t it amazing?!
Some fun origami kits and origami accessories with the top quality Yuzen ‘washi’ paper are for sale.
Booth Number 2
12.30-4pm (Children must attend with adult supervision.)
Register JAPAN EXPO 2022
( Leading JAPAN’s Food, Travel and Culture exhibition )
Looking forward to meeting you there!

Amazing SMASH!2022

Weekend experience at Manga & Anime convention

Image SMASH

Thank you for my workshop participants at SMASH!2022!
With your participation, my first Sydney Manga and Anime Show went very well.

When the organiser contacted me if I’m interested in running Origami Workshop at Darling Harbour Convention Centre, I immediately said, “Sure!”
But I’ve never imagined that there was a very different world in Sydney. WOW
Fantastic cosplayers were everywhere. Beautiful girls and charming girls, handsome boys and unidentified unique characters.
Many manga & anime artists had booths and there were many manga goods on the tables.

Vibe, Vibe, Vibe, Vibe!

20,000 tickets were sold out 2-3 weeks before the event!
They must be looking forward to it very much. Me, too!
Great atmosphere.

Thank you for my origami workshop visitors.
It was nice meeting you all.

We made origami flowers and put LED tea lights inside.
The LED lights don’t get hot, so it is safe to use with origami.
My special LED lights changes colours. Fantastic!! I am sure all the mothers would love the handmade gifts from their children.
