The Origami Forum

Hi! New user at the forum so excuse me if i have missed relevant topics, but i searched and could not find any. So here i go.

I`m gonna help my sister fold an origami figure that is going to represent friendship, since she´s going to Japan in a couple of days and live with a host family, so she needs to bring them a gift. So my question is, what color and figure represents friendship for japanese people?

Your sister could fold a heart. I think that's close enough to friendship .
There are two design I like in particular; the 'beating heart' and 'can love be squashed?'. Both of these can be found as diagrams by doing a quick google search, or you can find them on YouTube.
Tell your sister to have fun!

Thanks for those tips, they will tried out. Any other suggestions?

why not folding THE origami traditional - or a few of them - a crane?

I make lots of new friends with dollar bill folds.

when does your sister go to japan? for a trip in spring or summer you could fold butterflies ...

You can fold this butterfly tato and put a thank you note inside:
