These photographs also appear in Arnesia Young’s article about the work
of artist Naoki Onogawa in My Modern Met (24 May 2021):
Origami Artist Reimagines Trees With Leaves Made of Tiny Paper
Cranes
That article, and these photographs, inspired the poem above.
Naoki Onogawa
is a Japanese artist based in Tokyo, who creates bonsai-like tree sculptures whose leaves are actually hundreds of tiny paper cranes (orizuru), origami birds that he has folded by hand.
