Origami – JAPANESE FOLDING PAPER ART

Bringing paper to life. The term “origami” originally comes from the Japanese and means “folded paper”. It refers to the art of paper folding.

Originally, traditional objects were folded from a single piece of paper, requiring neither glue nor scissors. Between the 17th and 19th centuries, many origami figures were created that are known today as “classics”, e.g. tsuru (crane). Before that, origami was created on the occasion of religious and ceremonial rituals.
