Origami of the week


Lucinda made this lovely box/bowl with the help of her Japanese teacher, Hayashi Sensei. The colors and design are in honor of the Japanese festival of Hina Matsuri, the Doll Festival that honors girls' health and happiness on March 3 (3/3) every year.

Lucinda also made this collage in Japanese class for Hina Matsuri: Lucinda folded several pieces of origami paper to make kimono for the "emperor" and "empress" that appear in displays for the festival. (click photo for closeup.)

Hello Jessica, I just happened upon your blog. I clicked on next blog from mine. I don't know if that is always the case. I just started blogging myself. Anyway, I am half Japanese on my Mother's side and am finding your posts wonderful. I am in New Jersey and will check back to see how your time in Japan is progressing.

Thanks again.
Keiko
