What is Tsumami Zaiku?
Literally, 'folded fabric craft'. Tsumami zaiku are made from tiny squares of silk which are folded into petals using origami techniques. Flowers are made from these folded fabric petals and may contain anywhere from five petals to 75 or more, depending on the particular flower made. Tsumami ornaments are sophisticated and look beautiful however they are displayed, so now you can add a little taste of Japan into your everyday life.
