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!”

Buddha nut arrangement

[DIY] Recommended for autumn interiors ♡ Buddha nut arrangement / Buddha’s coconut

Buddha nut arrangement

Let’s create a stylish arrangement using a Buddha nut.

A Buddha nut is a type of seed pod said to bring good fortune because it resembles the Buddha’s head.

Place floral foam inside the Buddha nut, then embed dried flowers, pine cones, acorns, other autumn seed pods, and dried fruit.

Fill the surrounding areas with faux moss, insert larger seed pods and flowers into the foam first, and then place smaller seed pods to fill the gaps.

This will give the whole piece a well-balanced finish.

Autumn is the season when it gets colder as we head toward winter, and some creatures prepare to make it through the winter.

Among those winter-preparing creatures, we’re focusing on the bagworm, and the idea is to create a warm-looking design using materials like origami.

The steps are simple: cut the materials into small pieces, layer them, and finally attach the facial parts.

The impression will change depending on what materials you use and which colors you choose, so this is a great chance to express your originality.

♬ Happy Halloween – Junky

Halloween is a major event of autumn, and its unique atmosphere—where spookiness overlaps with fun—is part of its charm.

Let’s make a jack-o’-lantern, an essential Halloween item, using a combination of a balloon and tissue paper.

Inflate a balloon to your desired size, then use liquid laundry starch or white glue to stick on small pieces of tissue paper.

Once the adhesive dries, pop the balloon and remove it.

After shaping it a bit, attach the facial features and hang it with a string to finish.

It’s also fun to try different tissue paper colors to see how the overall look changes.

Autumn foliage wall decoration

Introducing how to make a paper maple leaf wall decoration! Why not handcraft an autumn decoration for October and November using construction paper and origami? [Tsukuru-mon]

Autumn foliage wall decoration

If you’re thinking of making a decoration with a Japanese aesthetic, how about creating a wall hanging featuring maple leaves and the moon? Using origami or colored paper, you’ll build an autumn scene on a backing sheet.

Unlike ordinary paper collages, this piece incorporates three-dimensional maple leaves and a single strip of paper twirling above the base, evoking the breeze of an autumn night.

The maple leaves may seem difficult, but you only need to fold and cut them to shape.

Try varying the sizes and coloring them vibrantly with yellow, red, and even still-green leaves.

Origami Persimmon

Persimmon decoration made with easy origami (with audio commentary)

Origami Persimmon

Let’s make a softly rounded, three-dimensional persimmon.

You can make it with orange and green origami for the persimmon and its leaf.

First, fold the origami in half, then in half again, and use scissors to trim off the corners.

Open it up, then use chopsticks or a similar tool to curl it inward, creating a gentle, puffy shape, and secure the top point with wood glue or similar adhesive.

Make the calyx and leaf in the same way.

Cut the green origami into a quarter-size piece, fold it into quarters the same way, trim the corners, then place it on top of the persimmon and glue it down.

Autumn-colored arrangement with 100-yen store artificial flowers

[100-Yen Shop DIY] How to Make an Autumn Color Arrangement / Flower Materials: 600 Yen

Autumn-colored arrangement with 100-yen store artificial flowers

For those who love handmade crafts, 100-yen shops are indispensable.

Year by year, the variety of artificial and dried flowers has grown, and the way they stock all kinds of seasonal blooms—almost like a real florist—is truly impressive.

Why not try making an arrangement using artificial flowers from a 100-yen shop? It’s very simple: just insert the artificial flowers into floral foam.

For the container, you can also use a vase, ceramic cup, or glass from the same shop.

You don’t have to worry about changing water, so you can display it anywhere—that’s another great perk.

Fallen leaf wreath

Introducing an autumn decoration: a wreath of fallen leaves made from origami! For November and December displays, how about crafting maple and ginkgo leaves and making a wreath from 12 pieces? [Tsukuru Mon]

Fallen leaf wreath

How about making a wreath inspired by autumn leaves using origami? Let’s also make the wreath base out of origami.

First, fold a quarter-sized sheet of origami paper and make 12 identical pieces, then connect them together.

Since they’re only slotted together, secure the back with tape or similar so they don’t come apart.

Next, make your favorite autumn leaves, arrange them on the wreath base, and glue them on with wood glue or another adhesive.

Try to place ginkgo, maple, and even brown dried fallen leaves in a balanced way.
