This picture taken on May 23, 2018, shows an origami made from chopstick sleeves owned by Yuki Tatsumi in Kameoka, Kyoto prefecture. – Yuki Tatsumi was waiting tables at an izakaya pub in Japan’s Kyoto when something on the table caught his eye — a chopstick wrapper folded and fiddled into an abstract shape. It was the catalyst for a collection that now includes some 15,000 pieces of found “origami art” made by customers folding the paper sleeves that cover chopsticks at Japanese restaurants.
