Comprising of the Japanese kanji “oru” (which means to fold), and “kami” (paper), origami is the ancient Japanese art of geometrical paper folding to represent objects. The origins of origami date all the way back to the 6th century when Chinese Buddhist monks brought paper to Japan. During the Heian period, origami played a significant cultural role as samurai warriors partook in the exchange of gifts decorated with noshi, a gesture of luck made by folding strips of paper.

A basic origami may comprise of only a few folding techniques, but these can be combined in a variety of ways to create a more intricate design like the Japanese crane. Generally, origami is made on a square piece of paper with a design or colour on one side. For more elaborate creations, two-sided designs may be used, some cutting of the paper may be involved, and some plans even call for the gluing of several pieces together to form one large piece. With origami, the possibilities are endless – just give it a try and let your imagination flow!
