This is my Nepenthe.: 2nd Degree Black Belt →
When I successfully folded Toshikazu Kawasaki’s Rose, I was stoked. Anyone who follows me on Twitter or was around me when I was making my attempt knows this. To me, folding that rose was like earning my Black Belt in Origami. And like any true student of anything, my training is not complete.
