Pray for Japan

The north coast of Japan was hit by a horrible tsunami after a 9.0 magnitude earthquake that occurred 80 miles offshore.

According to the Asahi newspaper today, the death toll is now 8,649  and 13,261 are missing. 319,101 people are in the evacuation centres.

Nuclear Plants are still not stable, and critical situation.

There are many organisations who are collecting donations.

I have done through Red Cross Australia. If you are interested in donating, please visit the Red Cross website in your country.

Web Review: A4 Orikata

I was born and brought up in Japan.  I left there 20 years ago, but still I have special place for my home country Japan and its culture. I like subtle but detailed things that Japanese culture offer.

Packaging, folding papers…  Origami is one of the traditional culture in Japan.

A4 Orikata is the website which displays one of the beautiful Japanese culture. If you click the second button on the left, you can see thumbnail images, if you click one of them, you can download the papers and how to fold it.

We use these small envelopes to place the money to give, or use as a letters.

I like this web design because it is simple and minimal but you can see the details, and this website is showing the beauty of Japanese culture.
