Accompanist pianist × piano instructor × web writer. I began piano lessons at age four and, inspired by my piano teacher, decided to pursue music. I went on to specialized music programs in high school and university, where I discovered the appeal of accompanying instrumentalists and singers. Currently, alongside teaching piano, I work mainly in my home region of Aichi as an accompanist for flute, voice, choir, and more. Through lessons, my students often introduce me to trending songs, and my hobby is trying anything on the piano—Japanese and Western pop, commercial jingles, and beyond. Since 2021, I’ve also been active as a web writer, covering music and a variety of other genres.

Origami Flower: Easy way to make a sunflower from a single sheet — How to make an easy origami sunflower

Sunflower

Great for kids’ summer vacation! Here’s how to fold a sunflower.

Use double-sided origami paper in yellow and brown, or use yellow paper and color the center with crayon—it looks cute either way.

First, make creases by folding into a square and then into a triangle twice, and fold using the “zabuton” (cushion) base.

Open it up, then fold each of the four corners up to the front crease twice.

Flip it over, fold the corners to the center, flip it over again, and fold using the “boat” base.

Open the corners and squash-fold them.

Fold the four squares using the “crane” style folds.

Fold up the four corners in the center, then tuck the outer corners inward, and you’re done!
