Origami is the Japanese art of paper folding. Create almost anything, animals, flowers, birds, and more. Join us to learn a fun way to exercise your fingers and your mind. Sayaka Yamazaki was born and grew up in Tokyo, Japan. She graduated from a University in Japan and earned another bachelor degree in the United States. Her grandmother taught her how to make origami at the age of four and she taught her children the art of origami at home. The ancient practice of paper folding has been passed down through generations. She learned calligraphy in elementary school in Japan and brought the calligraphy set from Japan to share Japanese art and writing. She has taught Japanese language, art, culture, and more at Concordia Language Camp, Japanese school, and charter and public schools.
