In celebration of Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage Month, we’re shining a spotlight on one of the talented local artists featured in the Friends Library Store ✨

Meet Hisao, whose work beautifully blends tradition and creativity.

Inspired by the art of traditional Japanese origami, this handmade jewelry transforms delicate paper folding into wearable works of art. Each piece is thoughtfully crafted and full of color, detail, and creativity.
