My friend has lived in Chiba Prefecture. His hobby is ORIGAMI. Many things are made by small paper, for example a crane, a frog, a flower and so on.
He sent me his works several times. For the first time I was very surprised, because his works were three- dimensional.
Certainly I believed that ORIGAMI was two-dimensional. And his works were put in a small container. That is to say, ORIGAMI always has decorations. It's a kind of an artwork.
His teacher of ORIGAMI died recently. It was not news in Japan, but in England his death was picked up widely in the Times. It was written that he was “god of ORIGAMI”.
2 weeks ago,I went to N.Y. for a business trip.
And partner company's president who is 35 years old took his small daugters on the first day.
And then I thought I would fold Origami for them.
But I forgot how to fold origami such as Shuriken.
So I bought an Origami book in a book store in NY^^;
But Almost Samples in the book is too difficult to fold. And I've never seen them.ex 3D-Apples.
They have a three-dimension as Izumi-san say.
I felt Origami level in USA is higher than my origami level...
Thank you for your message. I was surprised, because
there was a book of ORIGAMI in NY. ORIGAMI is now
worldwide. It was good that you could fold your works
of ORIGAMI. See you later.
