KamiKashii

At KamiKashii I aim to bring you - and your loved ones - a beautiful piece of art, capturing the serenity of origami and the natural beauty of timber. My inspiration for KamiKashii came about after learning origami in Kyoto, Japan. It was my daughter's first trip overseas and at 10 months old she proved to be a great little traveller. As a working mum, I want to show her that, if they want to, girls can do anything and everything. KamiKashii was born! The name comes from the Japanese word for paper, 'Kami' and part of a beautifully romantic Japanese word 'Natsukashii', which embodies that happy moment that suspends time and carries you back to a fond childhood memory. For someone that lives more than 16,000 kilometres from where she grew up, that idea resonated profoundly with me. Thinking about 'Natsukashii' made me remember long summer shadows, fresh cut grass, sizing up trees for climb-ability, My Little Ponies... and 99p flakes in ice cream cones! Can't help but smile :) Through my designs I aim to create beautiful pieces with a little bit of Japan and a little bit of Australia, that will bring you and your loved ones your own 'Natsukashii' moments.
