Work experience in a hospital as a physical therapistNakamū
I worked as a physical therapist at a general hospital for about four years. I’ve supported a wide range of patients, from those needing emergency rehabilitation to those doing rehabilitation at home at a comfortable pace. As a writer, I’d be happy to share health-related information with many people. Thank you, and I look forward to working with you!

November is the season when autumn deepens and we begin to feel winter approaching.

During this time, when the wind can feel chilly, let’s enjoy some warm indoor recreation.

This time, we’ll introduce origami with a November theme.

We’ve gathered pieces that evoke November, such as flowers at their peak and seasonal foods.

We hope older adults can feel the season while making origami.

Origami can be done while seated and requires only simple materials, so it’s easy to try.

Since it involves moving the fingers, it can also help stimulate the brain—so please try making these together with older adults.
