Describe your approach to teaching:
In Japan, origami is taught by mother to child or friend to friend
casually so I like to teach origami in relaxed homely atmosphere
and bring out joy and sense of achievement.
What inspires my own work?
I like to capture a moment. I like something tells a story. I tend
to attracted textures of old rustic objects.
