My name is Moko, a mother of three who admired my mother and worked in the care industry as a care worker and as a medical social worker (MSW) in a hospital. I will be drawing on my previous experience to write mainly about caregiving. Thank you in advance.

I’ve been playing the Electone since I was six, mainly performing Disney music, anime songs, and music from dramas and films. I post performance videos on YouTube and social media, and I also give concerts. Building on my Electone experience, I took up synthesizer and piano during my student years and performed at school-sponsored events. As a writer, I’ve covered not only music-related topics but a wide range of genres, so I hope to draw on my experience to deliver articles that make readers think, “I want to try that!” or “I want to listen to that!”

Message card made with A4 paper

A4 Paper [Message Card] Folding Method: Handmade Gift for Respect-for-the-Aged Day♪ Also great for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day ◇ Origami Paper Craft Message Card Holder Easy Tutorial

Message card made with A4 paper

How about a stylish message made with A4 paper? Colored paper is recommended.

First, crease the A4 sheet so it’s roughly divided into quarters.

Open it up, then starting from the edge of the second-largest section within the creased frame, make fine accordion folds.

Once you’ve folded a fair amount, fold the entire sheet in half from that section and shape the accordion-folded part into a leaf-like form.

Finally, tidy up the edges so that this leaf-like decoration sits in the center, and you’re done.

It will resemble an envelope, so write your message on a postcard-sized piece of paper, tuck it inside, and give it as a gift!
