Origami-Japanese art of holding paper
Shuriken is a traditional Japanese concealed weapon that was used for throwing at the enemy. It was often a sharpened hand-held blade used by Ninja. We make origami-shuriken and present to our guests. Some kids of guest began to play with shuriken as soon as we gave. In Japan, kids in a kindergarten and a nursery school learn how to make Origami that is traditional Japanese art of folding paper to make models of planes, animal, daily use tools and amongst others. It’s difficult for kids to make a crease and make a sharp crease.It’s said that kids acquire a imagination, a concentration, thinking ability, communication skills by making origami.
My granddaughter who is 5 years old taught me how to make Origami-shuriken. I could have fun. Please try to make with origami watching You Tube, you too.
