Japanese Arts I: Origami Story Time

Japan Information & Culture Center

Special Event Courtesy of the Japanese Information and Cultural Center, a division of the Japanese Embassy

This origami story time introduces the Japanese phrase of mottainai (used to describe a sense of regret over waste) through the book "Mottainai Grandma," by Mariko Shinju. The story will be followed by an origami activity where kids will learn how to make a samurai hat out of recycled newspaper. 

This event can be independently enjoyed by children in Grades 1-3, but younger children are also able to engage in the activity with some parental assistance. 

For reasonable accommodations, please contact the Center for Accessibility at least seven (7) days in advance at 202-727-2142 or DCPLaccess@dc.gov.
