About the Author
Hiromi Hayashi was born in Japan in 1963. While she loved origami just as much as any Japanese child would, it was not until her beloved daughter was hospitalized that she found origami can encourage others. She became fascinated by the art of turning origami paper into flowers. She has been creating various flowers in her own style ever since and now resides east of Tokyo, in Chiba City.
