Shoko moved to Japan from Australia in February 2005. She's now working based from Saitama.     May 2012　new! Shoko's "Baby Penguin Paper Fastener and Mom" was introduced with Hungarian Origami Magazine issue 2012/1. I love this Baby Penguin with Mom. This is good for the Mother's day greeting card.     April 2012 Shoko's "Who's house? It is Ryunosuke Akutagawa's house." was introduced with NOA magazine issue#442. The traditional house origami will change into the head of Ryunosuke Akutagawa, who is a Japanese writer. The photo of my new creation, langue de chat (Cat tongues are a small chocolate bar) is also introduced with Origami Garden.     March 2012 Shoko's display of Origami Carnival was introduced with NOA magazine issue# 441.     February 2012　 Recently when I was teaching origami at a school in Kolkata, India. I was presented with a beautiful golden bowl. At the beginning of February I bought two hyacinth bulbs and placed them in the bowl with some water. Just this morning the hyacinth bulbs started to bloom. The purple and pink blossoms remind me that spring will soon be here. As you, too, wait for spring I highly recommend a book, "When the Root Children Wake Up". I think you will enjoy it. February 2012　 Shoko's Ink bottle and Quill was introduced with NOA magazine issue#440. A children book created by Koji Suzuki, inspired me to make this ink bottle. He is such a wonderful artist! February 2012　coming soon! *click to enlarge image February 2012　 Shoko's 'Treasure Bag' was introduced with Korean Origami Magazine Issue # 79-09.   Shoko's 'Unit Bunny' was introduced with ORISON issue #2012/ 1.
