Shape on shape and fold on fold
Creates a world from simple mould.
In what emerges my eye can see
Bird or Beast or Geometry.

Japanese people love poetry and have handed down poems as well as origami models.

A paper frog jumps
Trying to win the contest
Leaping high and far.

Haiga had been an interest of Mary's since living in Japan for two years. But she had never created one until needing a special wedding anniversary gift. Mary was led to use several of Chuck's published haiku for the first joint work of haiga.

The Origin of Origami: Haiku
"Origami" is the first phase of an incubation effort known as “Haiku,” which Bill Gates unveiled at WinHEC last April. The concept prototype was developed by Otto Berkes, then an architect and now general manager of the Ultra-Mobile PC team, as an exploration into ideal mobile PC designs.

Haiku generated excitement, and Mitchell decided to fund a prototype that was as close to “Haiku” using readily available technology to test product concept and viability. The project proceeded with speed.

“Reflecting back, it’s amazing how quickly we went from a pure concept to products in the market,” Berkes said. “It was only about a year ago that [Gates] showed the concept, and now products inspired by that concept are going to be sitting on store shelves.” The Samsung product is expected to be available in April, with the others to follow.

The code name “Origami” will give way to manufacturers’ product names.

Yoshizawa Akira 吉澤章

quote
14 March 1911 – 14 March 2005
was considered to be the grandmaster of origami. He is credited with raising origami from a craft to a living art. According to his own estimation made in 1989, he created more than 50,000 models, of which only a few hundred designs were diagrammed in his 18 books. Yoshizawa acted as an international cultural ambassador for Japan throughout his career. In 1983, Japanese emperor Hirohito named him to the Order of the Rising Sun, one of highest honors that can be given to a Japanese citizen.
