A traditional Japanese culture “ORIGAMI” is a common language in the world. The students in the USA are taught “ORIGAMI” in elementary school since several decades ago. I taught it to a son of my friend 30 years ago. And now I recommend to conceal a small paper crane in the envelope with a letter. The influence is bigger than you thought.
The displays of “New Japanese sense of beauty” show a kind of “ORIGAMI” (Miura paper craft) with typical Japanese goods in Hankyu Department Store in Osaka.
The typical goods are KIMONO and “NISHIJIN” OBI, “ARITA” pottery. “NISHIJIN” OBI is arranged a special pattern from an artist Itoh Jyakucyu in Edo period. “ARITA” pottery is also world-wide word. Foreign people who love Japan have deeper knowledge than Japanese people. I sometimes felt shameful but was very proud of Japan.
I would pay attention and energy to abroad, because foreign people understand “genuine” on higher level than Japanese. They give higher reputation to workman made and only one goods than machine made. I create a new design which is easily wearable, free size but well stylish made from pure silk Kimono. I will show the new design soon !
