Special-origami

I was quite taken by this stationery shop which was originally founded in 1827. Takashi Araki and his sister are sixth generation descendants who now run the shop. They do intricate origami and post instructional videos on YouTube. Their creations are unbelievably complex involving hundreds of folds. The shop is filled with beautiful origami papers, some of which come in large rolls like wrapping paper. Most of the figures are folded, but there are tiny flowers and objects made by winding thin strips of paper. There is even a miniature candy/ice cream shop. Unfortunately the creations are not for sale.
