The talented Japanese artist
Naoki Onogawa is taking origami art to the next level, and she’s doing it in
the most Japanese way ever. Mainly inspired by the legend of the 1000 cranes
and the story of Sadako Sasaki, she folds hundreds of miniature origami cranes
which later become attractively delicate Bonsai trees of various colors and
styles. Since ancient times, Japanese people have been mindful of natural
phenomenon, and while confronting our uncertainties of the natural world, we
worship and co-exist in harmony with nature. As one symbol of nature, trees
possess a life force which lies in all natural things,” Naoki writes on her
blog. I’ve tried to endow my artworks with this energy. Through looking at my
works, I hope you can feel this life force too.
