Origami Shikki is a lacquer ware (paper plate) made of Japanese paper (Washi). The design is a fusion of origami techniques and traditional Japanese technology. Unlike conventional paper plates, the lacquer treatment makes them waterproof and durable, and they can be washed and reused over and over again. Origami Shikki's geometric designs are created using the Origami technique of folding from a single sheet of paper. The paper used for Origami Shikki is made using the traditional Echizen Washi technique, which produces a unique pattern on the surface of the plate.

At Paper Parade, our theme is to create new value in paper and printing while crossing the boundaries between digital and physical. While experimenting with new forms of expression and exploring new concepts, we will continue to develop works that change the values ​​of paper, printing, and materials, centering on graphic design. We are able to express ourselves uniquely while being influenced by the two forms of expression, design and artwork. The origin of Paper Parade is "exploring the possibilities of paper and printing". I believe that combining paper and printing with new elements will lead to even more possibilities.
