Many origami artists are fond of playing with a string ring.
A Japanese mathematician Hiroshi Noguchi and an English missionary Philip Nobel established it in 1978. We were lucky to meet Philip in person. From our point of view he is an unusual priest. Besides discussing religious subjects he entertains audience by showing different tricks, making funny figures from a string and wearing a clown dress. Recently he has published the Fool of Kingdom book where he shares his experience of clownery.
