The autumn foliage in the mountains is a landscape that lets you feel the deepening of the season.

When you think of fall colors, many of you probably picture momiji (Japanese maple), don’t you?

Why not decorate the walls of care facilities with a scenic view featuring momiji?

In this article, we present a collection of ideas for “momiji wall decorations for senior care facilities.”

Some older adults spend similar days or find it harder to move their bodies than before, making it difficult to go out.

Let’s use autumn-colored momiji on the facility’s walls to help everyone feel as if they’ve gone out for koyo-gari or momiji-gari (autumn foliage viewing)!

It also seems likely to encourage communication, such as sparking interactions with others.

Here’s an idea for making 3D maple leaves using accordion-folded origami.

First fold the paper into a triangle, then accordion-fold the triangle.

Open it up, fold in half, and cut it into a triangle shape.

For the other pieces, cut them into triangles as well, reducing one or two folds each time so they gradually get smaller.

Fold each piece firmly into a triangle, fold in half, and glue—this creates a maple leaf shape! Try combining large and small pieces and pasting them together.

You can use the same accordion-fold method to make ginkgo leaves, too—perfect for autumn crafts or wall decorations.

When it comes to plants that symbolize autumn, brilliantly colored red and yellow autumn leaves come to mind.

Let’s make those evocative fall leaves with origami.

This project combines parts to create a three-dimensional finish, resulting in sturdy origami that works not only as part of a decoration but also stands on its own.

Cut small pieces of origami paper with scissors, fold them into diamond shapes, and assemble them to form a maple leaf.

By paying attention to the seam in the center, you’ll achieve a lifelike three-dimensional shape.

You can even aim for a more realistic look by intentionally combining parts of slightly different sizes instead of using pieces that are all the same.

In conclusion

It was an idea for a wall decoration with “momiji” (Japanese maple leaves) that lets you feel the arrival of autumn! You can make it together with seniors as part of a recreational activity, or display pieces prepared in advance to brighten up the facility—both are lovely options.

By the way, “kaede,” which has a similar shape to “momiji,” is classified as the same type of plant.
