My Story
I am Japanese and origami was very familiar to me. My mother taught me origami when I was around 3years old. At nursery school and kindergarten, I was taught by teachers and made various things with Origami or cutting newspapers and flyers. When I was in elementary school, I went to paper flower class. I knew about 3D origami for the first time when my mother attended a 3D origami class. 3D origami folds parts and combines them like Lego to create a three-dimensional object. I want to spread origami in the United States. Children can play with their imaginations if they have a paper, and the work of folding 3D origami parts using fingertips and is used in nursing homes in Japan as it prevents dementia. I think that origami is liked by all ages, from children to adults.
I started my business in 2018 in California. I moved to Texas in 2021. In 2022, I opened my booth at 24 events. I will continue to open my booth at various events. I'm looking forward to seeing people in events! In the future, I would like to hold an origami class for children and an origami class at a nursing home.
I am making original folding's way most of them except traditional objects like crane or cubic. My jewelry is handmade and water-resistant. They are coated with craft resin. Preserving the origami beautiful colors of the origami paper is a trade secret. Also, for people with metal allergies, I use stainless steel, surgical stainless steel and brass that nickel free.
