Yesterday, a lovely woman visiting from Chile joined us at AriHana Kyoto for an origami experience during her Kyoto sightseeing. It was her first time trying origami, but she carefully folded each piece and created many beautiful works of art. To finish, she tried kirigami (Japanese paper cutting) and made a stunning design, which she turned into a message card and kindly gave to me as a gift. It truly made my day!
