Have you ever tried Origami?
I’m teaching slowly on the video clip, so it is not so hard!
You can try it with kids or whoever you want!
Let’s have fun! I hope you will enjoy folding“Crane and Flapping bird” (^∀^)♪

Street Performance, Origami and Sanshin…
(Ireland, Czech Republic, Croatia, Greece, Albania, Montenegro, Serbia Macedonia…and hopefully, will be more!)・Origami on the street

・Sanshin on the street
Q. What is Sanshin?
It is a traditional instrument with three strings.
“San” means three and “Shin (Sen)” means strings.
It is a monophonic instrument, so while you are
Playing it, you sing a song! (Sounds hard? Don’t worry!
Just play it and someone could sing instead of you :) )Its sounds like Irish Banjo,
so let’s say it is a Japanese Banjo!

I am an actor and street performer. I demonstrate folding Origami
paper and sometimes, I play a Sanshin.
I love acting and traveling. Why traveling?
It is such a great experience to visit another country and experience
the arts with my own eyes. Traveling gives me huge inspiration all
the time.
Europe is very famous for the arts, dance, theatre, music, painting,etc. A lot of significant art was born there. I have been to somecountries there and the most striking difference is the variety ofnationalities on the street! Geographically, countries are closely
connected in Europe and it is easier to visit neighboring countries
without passports.
On the other hand, Japan is very isolated. We need a passport
whenever wherever we travel outside of Japan. Also, we are able tosurvive without speaking different languages to live here in Japan,so we do not have accessible chances to EXCHANGE our culture,language and arts, which have strong beauty and originality.
As an actor, I would love to meet and work with other people who are interested in film and drama. As an artist, Iwould very much like to put myself in an environment that inspires my artistic creativity. I also know that I will
impress artists, visitors, anyone with my art! I would like to bring these ideas back to Japan, to spread not only thedesire for drama in Japan, but for all art as well! I would cherish the opportunity to EXCHANGE andCOLLABORATE with Art(ist)s.
Thanks for reading!
