As a company introducing Japanese origami, we are delighted to see that Japanese anime and pop culture are so popular in the United States. So we had been excited to have this big event at Japan Village, where our Brooklyn Studio is located!
This event, titled “Magical Girls Festival” (organized by Sailor Moon Fan Club), was a gathering of fans of Japanese magical girls anime, especially the legendary anime “Sailor Moon”. Young New Yorkers dressed in their best cosplay and anime character T-shirts gathered at the Japan Village to enjoy this special day.
Upon the organizer’s request for collaboration, we had an origami workshop of simple Sailor Moon costume as part of this festival!

Customized origami model of an anime character
We set up a special booth in front of our studio to teach participants how to fold this customized origami. Sailor Moon fans of all ages, from children to adults, gathered to create their own little costumes under the guidance of Brooklyn Studio instructor Sai.
The Design Process
This model, “Sailor Moon Costume,” is based on a photo of some reference works provided by the event organizer. Our senior artist Frank Ling reconstructed it for beginners.
The model presented as a reference work, while beautifully finished, required an intermediate level of technique.
With this model in mind, Frank designed a new piece that can be finished by beginners using only basic folding techniques, while keeping it looking as nice as possible.
The final piece combined three sheets of origami and captured the character’s features in a lovely way.
Photos of the Booth
Here are some photos of the day. Everyone looks fantastic!
Of course the participants can take their finished work home, so that they can remember this fun day anytime.
We look forward to seeing Sailor Guardians of NYC again at Japan Village!
