"Orinigiri" is a paper craft for rice balls. You can make various shapes of rice balls such as triangular pyramids and Mt. Fuji style like origami.


To use it, first fold the sheet, assemble it, spread it out, put the glue, rice, and ingredients on it, and assemble it again. Can be used repeatedly by laying plastic wrap.


It can be carried even when wrapped in ori-nigiri, and it is also convenient as a packing container because it can be unfolded and taken home after eating. If you devise rice, ingredients, and glue, it will be exciting at parties and events.



Orinigiri was originally born from volunteer activities after the Great East Japan Earthquake. In recognition of his activities at reconstruction events, he received the Good Design Award in 2016. In the future, we are proceeding with commercialization with the aim of instilling it in our daily lives.


The developer, Sunflower Design, is currently looking for support on the crowdfunding site "Makuake", and there are plans available at a special price regardless of the degree of achievement of the project. The product will be shipped in March 2017. Maybe it's in time for cherry blossom viewing?
