I'm a creator of Kusudama and modular origami. Kusudama origami or modular origami is the art of paper folding. I create my own design of works, and draw diagrams.
This is my home page. origamio.com

My creation activity has begun in 2002. Until then I was folding origami which other designed and traditional designs, like most Japanese do.

Kusudama has a meaning to ward off evil, to pray for good luck (fortune) and blessing for every thing.
In Japan in ancient times, there was a custom exchanging Kusudama gifts with one another in the society of court nobles.

My incentive to creation will never wane. I wish I can tell you how much passion of the creation I have. (Sorry, my English poor).
I hope I can use my time for my creation activity more. I want to share pleasure to make kusudama works with friends all over the world. If I have enough money, I'll go anywhere in the world, and I'll teach friends how to make the works directly.
