About Taro's Origami Studio and Origami Master, Taro Yaguchi Taro’s Origami Studio was first founded in 2011 at Park Slope, Brooklyn by Taro Yaguchi with the ambition to share the benefits of origami. Taro’s mission is to create more exposure to the culture of origami by immersing spectator involvement as well as demonstrating the benefits of the craft. Taro’s Origami Studio now has a second location in Oakland, California. The studio offers drop-in sessions and classes for folders of any level as well as materials for this craft. The studio also has items such as gift boxes, greeting cards, Iwako erasers and other Japanese products. Over the last five years, Taro’s has worked with clients from all over the country. About Origami Master, Taro Yaguchi Taro Yaguchi is a patent lawyer who is also a celebrated origami artist. He developed the love for paper as a child growing up in Japan and it began with his grandfather's business of washi, Japanese traditional paper. As an origami artist, he always challenges himself in ways that allow him to share the art of origami with the world. Since the rebirth of origami in his life, Taro has introduced an origami method system, giant folding demonstrations, and Life through Folding to the public. With the opening of the first origami studio in New York City, Taro hopes to show the endless benefits of origami. Taro's Origami Method helps individuals understand the spatial relationships in a piece of paper in order to make a model. The method also allows for cognitive development opportunities, such as learning patience, muscle memory, creativity, and happiness. The philosophy of the studio is to share the importance of the origami experience with others. Therefore, he began demonstrating Giant Origami Folding performances in front of large audiences. Here he brings a solitary activity, often practiced at home, to a stage that invites collaboration. Since his first demonstration at the Children's Museum of Manhattan, he has performed live for Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Montclair Museum, Harmony for Peace Foundation, Japan Embassy and Japan America Society of Greater Philadelphia.
