Handcrafted Artworks
Sheepdog Artwork
Inspired by my own 10-year-old Sheltie, Lindsey. I have created a stylistic way to share your love for your furry companion in your own home.
Sheepdog owners can get their own artwork with their dog’s name inscribed. Other breeds may be on the way…

The Story Behind The Art
I’m Naomi Day, the creator of everything Kokura Origami!
I reside in Sydney, Australia with my husband, two kids, a dog and a rabbit. However, I am originally from Kokura town in Kitakyushu city, Fukuoka prefecture.
My most memorable origami gift was making 1000 paper cranes. This is called ‘Senbazuru’ and is a special Japanese gift you can make for a loved one to wish for their health in hard times. I made 1000 paper cranes for my best friend who was in hospital for cancer to pray for her health.
I hope my artwork can inspire people about Japanese culture. As I have lived in Australia for 30 years, creating these origami artworks makes me feel like when I was a little girl making origami with my mother.
Behind The Scenes
I create designs I love, but I would love to know if there are any designs that you would like to see me make!
Everything is handmade and personalised, so you will be decorating a one-of-a-kind artwork in your home.
The origami is made using Japanese ‘Kami’ paper, and the backgrounds are drawn using watercolour pencils.
