Origami and Tsumami Zaiku Workshop
$$
03 May 2025
Description
Tsumami zaiku is a traditional Japanese craft where small, square pieces of fabric are pinched and folded using tweezers/fingers to create intricate designs, most commonly resembling flowers, and is often used to make hair accessories like kanzashi. The term translates to "pinching handiwork" as "tsumami" means "to pinch" and "zaiku(saiku)" means "detailed work".
Tsumami zaiku was developed during the Edo period in Japan. Fabric squares are folded and glued together to create different shapes, often using tweezers or fingers. Chirimen, a type of Japanese silk crepe, is used traditionally. Nowadays, any type of fabric is used.
Tsumami zaiku is primarily used for hair accessories like kanzashi, but can also be used for jewellery, decorations, and other items.
Origami is the Japanese art of paper folding, transforming a flat sheet of paper into various shapes and figures, typically without cutting or using glue
