litmus origami by nakamitsu from japan
designer's own words:
リトマス紙を使ったオリガミ。いつしか外の水は汚いものという認識が共有されてしまった。気軽に外に持ち出して、外の水に浸せば色が変わるリトマスオリガミは、水の質を教えてくれる。リトマスオリガミの金魚やカエルが、いつか、きれいな色に染まって、泳ぎだす日が来ることを、世界中のみんなが望む。それは、水路で野菜を洗い、川で泳いで、湖で魚を釣るという生活を取り戻すことでもある。そんな夢を実現するための、世界共通のおもちゃ。
Origami made of Litmus paper. Gradually it became the common sense that public outdoor water is dirty. Litmus-Origami let you know how the water quality is, because it is easy to bring and dip it in the local water. Everyone around the world may hope that Origami-Goldfish and Origami-Flog will be stained beautiful colors and begin to swim. This means that we get back the water-oriented life with washing vegetables at a canal, swimming at a river and fishing at a lake. Litmus-Origami is a universal toy to realize such a dream.
