Graduated from Kunitachi College of Music, Faculty of Music (now: Department of Music Culture and Education, Early Childhood Music Education major). In elementary school, my homeroom teacher was Jun Kusaba, a game researcher. After graduating from university, I worked as a kindergarten teacher for 10 years and as an after-school childcare instructor for 7 years, then took a position as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I engaged in activities that introduced Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational activities, working with many children. Later, through freelance writing, planning, and editing at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and sharing. Drawing on the perspective cultivated in the field of education and my experience as an editor, I provide practical information with an emphasis on both input and output, mainly in areas related to music and children. My hobbies include instruments, singing, handicrafts, toys, drawing, traditional games, the outdoors, and books. My special skill is spinning-top tricks.

This is a full-fledged dandelion origami that lets you carefully craft the flower, leaves, and even the stem.

It may look like there are many steps, but if you proceed carefully one by one, you’ll get a beautiful result.

Start by folding a sheet cut in half; fold about one-fifth while aligning the edges with the creases to shape it, then create step folds and glue them together to complete the flower.

For the leaves, use a separate sheet: fold diagonally along the creases and open the pockets to squash-fold, adding a three-dimensional effect.

For the stem, fold a quarter-size piece and assemble it; then insert and glue the flower and leaves to finish.
