ThePaintedTiger: Thank you very much for your comment:) Yes, it is very sad that our techniques of many Japanese art are not being passed on...It is a critical situation. I feel urgent to do something about this situation!:D So the first thing I can do is, "I" pass them on to the future generation, and educate more young generation to preserve the beauty of our culture.

weiwen: Thank you very much for your very insightful comment. I really appreciate people like you value the traditional arts and crafts. It is very heart breaking to see our traditions are disappearing, and sttruggle to find the way how we can recover the beatiful side of our culture. Now I am studying about the many types of Kimono fabric and its regions to be woven/dyed for Kimono consultant examination, and it is also such a heart breaking to know that most Kimono fabric that has been lasting for several hundred years will not be presereved in the next generation. I wish I could make the documentary video about them.

From article: Japanese Origami Techniques with Atelier Kanawa

vivera, you can use any piece of paper that is a square (the size does not matter at all, and it can be easier to start large). Take a piece of regular paper, and fold the top right corner down so the top edge lines up with the left edge of the paper. Then cut off the rectangle at the bottom. One perfect square!

thank you very much for your wisdom and talent. The skill that you posses in the making of such breathtaking working is very humbling. I heard about the craft from some friends who said that it was rather simple and made fantastic resault. I have researched and fround numerous tutorials but none of them has surpassed yours. I can only hope to try and make something as beautiful as you have and with as much skill. I am truelly interested in learning so that if not formally this art may live on in some small way.
