Discover the World of Origami with Origamiq and Airbnb
Origamiq, renowned for its unique origami experiences, has partnered with Airbnb to launch an original origami program designed specifically for foreign visitors to Japan. While many are familiar with Airbnb as a platform for finding accommodations, it also offers an array of cultural experiences that allow travelers to immerse themselves in the local lifestyle. This new collaboration with Origamiq brings an extraordinary opportunity to delve into the art of origami, guided by the talented artist Kei Morisue.
A Special Origami Experience
For this initiative, Origamiq has created a bespoke origami program that has been carefully curated in conjunction with Airbnb. Unlike typical Airbnb experiences that anyone can register for, this program has been meticulously crafted to provide participants with a distinct and high-quality origami adventure. It promises to be not just an activity, but a deep dive into the traditional art form of origami.
Learning from a Master Origami Artist
The program features Kei Morisue, a creative origami artist celebrated for his innovative designs. Participants will have the privilege of learning directly from Morisue, who will guide them through creating various origami pieces, starting with the universally recognized “crane.” This experience is tailored for small groups, accommodating from one to a maximum of five participants, which allows for personalized attention and a more enriching learning experience.
Conducted in English, the program is aimed primarily at international visitors to Japan. Morisue's extensive experience teaching overseas ensures that even those who have never folded paper before can engage in the art of origami, making it accessible and enjoyable for all.
The Venue: Asakusa’s Charming Underground Shopping Street
Set in the retro atmosphere of Asakusa’s underground shopping street, the location adds a delightful backdrop to the origami experience. Participants will have the chance to capture memorable photos in this vibrant and historic area, enhancing their overall journey. After the origami session, guests can explore a well-known origami supply store, “Origami no Kurasawa,” where they can purchase their favorite origami papers. With professional advice from the experts, participants can pick up supplies to continue exploring the world of origami even after they leave Japan.
Embracing the Depths and Possibilities of Origami
Throughout the experience, participants will engage with unique techniques specific to creative origami, allowing them to create their own masterpieces. This hands-on approach aims to unveil the intricate beauty and potential of the art form, enabling guests to appreciate origami in a whole new way.
This is a unique chance to step into the rich and fascinating world of origami. Join us as we explore, create, and discover the endless possibilities of this artistic tradition. Whether you’re a seasoned origami enthusiast or a curious beginner, this program promises an unforgettable experience that transcends mere folding—it's about creating art and memories in the heart of Japan.
