The folding of an Origami crane
Origami (
折り紙?, from ori meaning "folding", and kami meaning "paper" (kami changes to gami due to rendaku)) is the art of paper folding, which is often associated with
Japanese culture. In modern usage, the word "origami" is used as an inclusive term for all folding practices, regardless of their culture of origin. The goal is to transform a flat sheet square of paper into a finished sculpture through folding and sculpting techniques.
Modern origami practitioners generally discourage the use of cuts, glue, or markings on the paper. Origami folders often use the
Japanese word kirigami to refer to designs which use cuts, although cutting is more characteristic of
Chinese papercrafts.[1]
The small number of basic origami folds can be combined in a variety of ways to make intricate designs. The best-known origami model is the
Japanese paper crane.
In general, these designs begin with a square sheet of paper whose sides may be of different colors, prints, or patterns.
Traditional Japanese origami, which has been practiced since the
Edo period (1603–1867), has often been less strict about these conventions, sometimes cutting the paper or using nonsquare shapes to start with. The principles of origami are also used in stents, packaging and other engineering applications.[2]

History of origami
A group of Japanese schoolchildren dedicate their contribution of
Thousand origami cranes at the
Sadako Sasaki memorial in
Hiroshima.
Distinct paperfolding traditions arose in
Europe,
China, and
Japan which have been well-documented by historians. These seem to have been mostly separate traditions, until the
20th century.
In China, traditional funerals often include the burning of folded paper, most often representations of gold nuggets (yuanbao). The practice of burning paper representations instead of full-scale wood or clay replicas dates from the
Sung Dynasty (
905–1125 CE), though it's not clear how much folding was involved.[3]
Traditional Chinese funeral practices were banned during the
Cultural Revolution, so most of what we know about
Chinese paperfolding comes from the modern-day continuation of these practices in
Taiwan.
In Japan, the earliest unambiguous reference to a paper model is in a short poem by
Ihara Saikaku in 1680 which mentions a traditional butterfly design used during
Shinto weddings.[4]
Folding filled some ceremonial functions in Edo period Japanese culture; noshi were attached to gifts, much like greeting cards are used today. This developed into a form of entertainment; the first two instructional books published in Japan are clearly recreational.
In Europe, there was a well-developed genre of napkin-folding, which flourished during the 17th and
18th centuries. After this period, this genre declined and was mostly forgotten; historian
Joan Sallas attributes this to the introduction of porcelain, which replaced complex napkin folds as a dinner-table status
symbol among nobility.[5] However, some of the techniques and bases associated with this tradition continued to be a part of
European culture; folding was a significant part of
Friedrich Froebel's "
Kindergarten" method, and the designs published in connection with his curriculum are stylistically similar to the napkin fold repertoire.
When Japan opened its borders in the
1860s, as part of a modernization strategy, they imported
Froebel's Kindergarten system—and with it,
German ideas about paperfolding. This included the ban on cuts, and the starting shape of a bicolored square. These ideas, and some of the
European folding repertoire, were integrated into the Japanese tradition. Before this, traditional Japanese sources use a variety of starting shapes, often had cuts; and if they had color or markings, these were added after the model was folded.[6]
In the early
1900s,
Akira Yoshizawa,
Kosho Uchiyama, and others began creating and recording original origami works. Akira Yoshizawa in particular was responsible for a number of innovations, such as wet-folding and the Yoshizawa–Randlett diagramming system, and his work inspired a renaissance of the art form.[7] During the
1980s a number of folders started systematically studying the mathematical properties of folded forms, which led to a rapid increase in the complexity of origami models.[8]
