Paper Garden by Origami

In a tatami room of Shinano-Kizaki Summer College, which has a history of more than a century, Paper Garden appears. This group of work consists of abstract flowers and rocks, made simply by folding huge sheets of paper – measuring tens of meters – which color the space like a Japanese dry garden, or karesansui. One thing splits into two, in turn they split into two... endlessly. The repeated folding of Fuse develops into a geometric three-dimensional piece, with the softness and shadows cast by the paper expressing the tranquility of the space.
