IN celebration of World Origami Day, Malaysia Origami Academy took the opportunity to represent the fusion of culture between Malaysia and Japan by exhibiting origami creations with a local touch.

Some of the pieces showcased at Publika, Kuala Lumpur, saw our national treasures represented in beautiful folds such as the wau bulan and mangosteen, as well as “sculptures” of Tunku Abdul Rahman and a durian.
