Leftover pieces of cloth that my mother or gr<strong>and</strong>mother had used were cut <strong>and</strong> sewn into dolls’ dresses. Leftover pieces of Japanese or colored paper used to cover Shoji, or paper partitions, commonly used in traditional Japanese houses, were folded to make balloons, boats, paper dolls, flowers <strong>and</strong> so forth. The Japanese paper Washi was used not only for dwellings, which is well-adapted to the Japanese climate, but also for furniture, children’s toys <strong>and</strong> playthings, household furnishings <strong>and</strong> items of formal social exchange. Its meaning <strong>and</strong> use vary with various ways of folding, <strong>and</strong> this tradition of folding paper has been h<strong>and</strong>ed down through the generations, becoming today the Origami that is known throughout the world. The crane shape is the most typical representative of Origami. The crane has long been esteemed in Japan, Korea <strong>and</strong> China as a bird of great longevity, symbolizing peace. Even today, we believe in the tradition of Senbazuru or the thous<strong>and</strong> paper cranes, <strong>and</strong> we fold one thous<strong>and</strong> of Origami symbols of longevity to pray for recovery from illness. I find an abstract beauty in this tradition of Origami, which shows a richness of spirit. How are we to bring expression <strong>and</strong> function today to its depth <strong>and</strong> abundance, hidden within the folds of their simplified shapes?... I have folded thin cloth pieces layer upon layer in the spirit of folding one thous<strong>and</strong> cranes, praying for happiness, peace, abundance <strong>and</strong> good health, <strong>and</strong> expressed the relationship between life <strong>and</strong> environment with the vivid beauty of the unblemished yellow. 90
