Koya Ichikawa uses this idea, but what he wants is the anti-wish.
He finds there are many wishes, not sincere, but just a gesture.
He protests these faux wishes.

Koya Ichikawa thinks Japanese use so quickly, and so often the word wishes without any heart.
First, he deletes this information of folding the papers, Origami, gathers together and penetrated by cold metallic wire, no meaning, no useful signification of printed.
This information became a good of creation and protest to the wish.
I am here, to exist is only one rivalry to the fake wish.
