“ORIGAMI MOBILE”  and “BIG MILKY WAY”  Workshops  

Flatto81 joined the 3rd edition of Tanabata-kai “Star Festival” in Amsterdam, organized by Kyoko KInder Kunst Klas. This year, Roppongi shop from last year participated in the event as well as new collaborators, Wonder-Kids and Yukinohana.

We hosted "Origami mobile Workshop" and "Big Milky Way Workshop" using recycled materials. For Origami mobile, we made original origami by using beet juice and printmaking technique.  Cutting lines were printed already on our Origami, so it was easier for children to make the lantern ornament. 

For Hishigata (diamond-shaped) ornament, we recycled the drawing made by the children who participated in the Tanabatakai last year.  Tanzaku and Fukinagashi was decorated with Atelier Chika Ito's handmade vegetable ink using vegetables as stamps. 

The Big Milky Way was made with recycled cardboards, connected together to form 5m60cm long and  max 80cm high milky way.  We decorated them with our triangle star stickers made from recycled papers, and Hikoboshi and Orihime met when we build the cardboards into a star shape.

We are very happy to be able to share the beautiful tanabata-kai event with children from different parts of the world in the Netherlands. Thank you so much to Kyoko, all collaborators and families who joined in this event!


Flatto81は今年も、Kyoko KInder Kunst Klas主催の七夕会に参加しました。今年は去年のコラボレーター、Roppongiの他、Wonder-Kids, Yukinohanaも加わって、もりだくさんの楽しい会でした。Flatto81は七夕折り紙のモビールと、大きな天の河づくりを担当し、身近にある素材をリサイクルしてつくりました。
モビールで使う、ちょうちんを折る折り紙は、ビーツジュースでつくったインクでゴム版画をし、子供たちが切りやすいように工夫しました。菱形綴りの紙は、去年の七夕会で子どもたちが自由に描いてくれたドローイングを活用して作り、短冊と吹き流しには、Atelier Chika Itoの手づくりインクを野菜でスタンプしてもらいました。

大きな天の河は、段ボールでつくったじゃばら本を夜空に見立てて、子どもたちに三角のシールをはってもらい、5m60cm x 80cmの大きな天の河をつくりました。つくった後は、天の河を星形に組み立て、織り姫と彦星が会える仕組みにしています。今年も、美しい七夕の会を、オランダでいろんな国の方と楽しく一緒に過ごせた事をうれしく思います。オーガナイザー、コラボレーター、参加者の皆様、どうもありがとうございました!
