spacIAL AWARENESS

折り紙 (origami) – folding meditation

is an efficient and meanigful relationship of space. It  allows a flat, free, open, silent space to be folded, formed, constructed into meaningful structures. Through its process of folding and the resulting forms, embodies a sense of presence, intentionality, and the beauty of impermanence, all key aspects of Ma (間). With a Buddhist, Zen and natural origin, Origami brings a sense of living, grounding and wholesomeness. It is infact “folding meditation”.

At hometown sketches, each origami fold tells a story of spaces and its interaction to life. Sometimes combined wtih watercolour sketches, sometimes on their own. 

Old pond… 古池や
a frog jumps in 蛙飛びこむ
water’s sound 水の音
