8,000 Chopstick Sleeve tips

Japanese Waiter Exhibits 8,000 Chopstick Sleeves Left as Restaurant “Tips”:

In a culture without tipping, one Japanese waiter began to realize that customers were expressing their gratitude in a subtle (and in some cases even unintentional) way, by folding the sleeves in which their chopsticks came wrapped.

In 2012, Yuki Tatsumi began to collect these into a set he would come to display and call Japanese Tip. He started at the establishment in which he worked, then branched out to other restaurants around Japan to gather over 10,000 examples of all kinds.
Finally, half a decade later, he staged an exhibition of his collection in Tokyo. The variety is remarkable, from complex origami-style works to shredded and otherwise deformed sleeves.

Instant origami spray

Cool!  Just spray some tissue and "voila"!


Not really, of course.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! (Chinese new year, February 16th, will be 🐕Year of the Dog🐶).

Here’s hoping 2018 won’t be a pooper!

The Pooper

20” x 20” Japanese foil paper bonded to cloth-like unryu (for the 💩 texture 😬).

The unryu made the paper a bit too thick (you can tell from the tail) and I ended up ripping the spine of the neck 😕). Not the best shaping job. Oh well. Upward and onward! 🙂
