compassion, more tolerance. We hope that all organizations and people will incorporate “love” into their daily lives. May the power of love reach everyone. (Mr. Akie Abe)” Image URL:

Each fold contains messages of “love,” “peace,” and “hope” from around the world. This project was carried out in collaboration with the France Pavilion, which has a love theme, to coincide with France’s National Day. “Imagination is the driving force that changes the world” — this is the thought I would like to share with you today. Imagination leads us beyond reality. Origami, which can create infinite possibilities from just one piece of paper, is the very symbol of this. Beyond common sense and limitations, you can create shapes as you
please–that is the power of imagination. Our mission is to spread this “DNA that creates change” to the world. Here at the Osaka Expo, a place where diverse cultures and values intersect, we are folding origami together, regardless of nationality or background, for one purpose–“giving form to love.” (Ikeoka Machiko) “Taking on a world record is a way to share the pride and belief that anything is possible. Together, we can create miracles. We believe that the power of love is the most circulating energy in the universe. “We see the world through our own ways” (Maite Bruneau, President of the Femmes du Monde Foundation) At the venue where the Guinness World Records(TM) for the “World’s Largest Heart-shaped Origami” was achieved, participants, visitors to the Expo who supported it, and international media celebrated the values shared by France and Femmes du Monde – freedom, equality, and women’s empowerment, creating a great sense of emotion.
