Do you know how to make an origami crane?

An ancient Japanese legend says, if you fold one thousand cranes you will be granted a wish . . .

You’ll have to ask our Activity Partner, Manami Watanabe, if the legend is 𝗧𝗥𝗨𝗘 when you learn how to do origami in her Online Experience✨

Origami is a traditional art of paper crafting from Japan. It’s a therapeutic craft that requires precision and concentration.

Manami will teach you how to make professional-looking origami, along with stories of its history, culture, and the values behind the shapes.

“Hi from Tokyo, I’m Manami 👋 I started learning origami from my mother at the age of 3. Since I can remember, I’ve been in love with Japanese traditional culture. My passion led to me studying history and completing a Ph.D. in cultural heritage studies.”

“Now, I offer cultural events in the form of an origami experience that is about more than learning skills—my concept is to share Japanese traditional culture and offer a space for cultural interactions. With fluent English and intermediate German, I am able to share my passion with more of the world. Beyond origami, I enjoy traveling, visiting temples & shrines, and learning languages.”
