Do you know Tanabata festival?  Tanabata is an event related to the stars.

It is based on the legend that only once a year, Hikoboshi (Cow herder) and Orihime (Weaving Princess), two lovers, would be allowed to meet each other at the shores of the heavenly river.

I want to introduce an origami handicraft of Hikoboshi and Orihime seeing each other

on the river.

Here is a movie. Please take a look at this.↓

The following lists are what you need to start to make the craft. Almost all of them are usually sold in a hundred-yen store in Japan. You can find them in DIY stores, too. Here are the item names in English (Japanese).

・Origami with Japanese patterns(wagaraorigami)

・Glossy origami(koutakuorigami)

・A kind of Japanese tape(suzuran teepu)
