Your Japanese Shirt Folding Kung Fu Is Much Stronger Than Mine

I thought I could whip a t-shirt into a tidy little bundle as fast as the next guy. But the video clip I just saw blew my mind. Apparently, shirt folding is all the rage in Japan. (As much of a rage as shirt folding can be, I suppose.) Anyway, here’s the video of amazing shirt folding kung fu!
Sugoi!

I love that video. The Japanese t-shirt folding expert should train this woman in her amazing t-shirt folding ways.

“Shannon Fleishman sat in her room at McLean Hospital, eyes shut tight, hands clenched together until her knuckles were white. She was shaking. I watched her and thought, “If I didn’t know the truth, I’d think she was a cocaine addict who just ran out of drugs.”
But that wasn’t it. Shannon Fleishman was trying to fold a shirt.
Dr. Carol Hevia, Shannon’s therapist, told Shannon to stop smoothing out every tiny wrinkle, to stop lining up edges of the shirt just right. After what seemed like an eternity, the shirt was folded.”
