About Origami Mask Pangunahing Tungkulin: Pantakip sa Mukha
Ang Origami Mask ay isang pantakip sa mukha na dinisenyo para sa mga natatanging okasyon tulad ng mga kasalan at seremonya. Ang maskara ay gawa mula sa iisang pirasong Japanese washi paper, tiniklop gamit ang origami technique, nang walang pandikit o tahi. Ang washi ay nagbibigay ng tekstura at daanan ng hangin. Ang gold leaf ay nagpapaganda sa mga tiklop, kaya't ang maskara ay gumagana bilang isang pormal na accessory sa halip na isang simpleng pangangailangan lamang. Ang maskara ay patag at compact kapag nakatiklop, at bumubuo ito ng isang dome na lumilikha ng espasyo sa paligid ng bibig kapag hinila ang magkabilang dulo. Ang nakatiklop na maskara ay kasya sa loob ng mga imbitasyon at maaaring itago sa pakete nito habang kumakain.

Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- This project was inspired by the traditional origami technique of folding a single sheet of paper and the functionality of washi paper, with its texture and breathability, a technique and material born in Japan. This origami mask is a project that combines two traditional elements that are familiar to Japanese people: washi and origami.

- Production Technology
- Instead of gluing or sewing, it was designed to form a three-dimensional dome using the technique of origami, which involves folding a single sheet of paper. The design makes the most of the charm and functionality of the material, such as the texture and breathability of Japanese paper.
The mask is compact when packaged, but when it is used as a mask, it expands into a dome shape when both ends are pulled to create a space around the mouth. - Design Challenge
- Mass production was difficult because of the complicated manual processing involved. By establishing a rule that the creases where the gold leaf is applied are the mountain folds and those where the gold leaf is not applied are the valley folds, the work process became visible and work efficiency improved, and mass production was successfully achieved.
- Research
- As a social change after the spread of the new corona infection, it has become customary to wear a mask. The same applies to "special occasions" such as weddings and other celebratory occasions, tea ceremonies, flower arrangement, and theater performances. Special masks for "special occasions" have never existed before. In our research, we discovered this need and tried to design an "etiquette for special occasions" as an origami mask.
- Inspiration
- It is becoming customary to wear masks in all situations where they meet people. This is also true for "special celebrations" such as weddings. By decorating the folds with gold leaf, this mask has been designed as a "tool for attire" suitable for special occasions, rather than something to be worn out of necessity. In cooperation with the washi production area, we created variations in the design to match the different functions and textures of the materials in different production areas.
- Project Duration
- The project began around May 2020 with talks with production areas and factories, and was launched in November 2020.
In January 2021, they were distributed at a coming-of-age celebration in a washi production area. - Operation Flow
- When opened by holding both ends, it becomes dome-shaped. When opened, the mask is large, but when folded, it becomes small and compact. The compactness of the mask allows it to be enclosed in invitations for weddings and other parties.
From the viewpoint of infection prevention, the mask can be folded and stored in the package at meals and other occasions to keep the table clean, and people will not have to worry about where to put the mask. - Image Credits
