    Origami originated in ancient Japan, where folded shapes known as orikata were important skills for aristocrats. Over time, origami became more complex, with early instructional books in the 18th century teaching ceremonial and recreational folds. Origami was originally limited to the privileged class but spread more widely in the 19th century as paper became cheaper. With Western influence in the 1850s, origami incorporated new folding patterns and techniques from other cultures.

    Origami
    A Brief History

    By the Turkish Group


    ⼀

    History of Origami
    The history of origami can be traced
    back to ancient Japan. Orikata,
    meaning folded shapes, were vital skills
    for aristocrats and high ranking soldiers
    in Japan. Several styles of formal gift/
    ritual wrappings were developed for
    such things as money, poetry and fans.

    ⼆
    Origami is derived from two Japanese
    words, Ori (folded) and Kami (paper).  The
    transition from the
    term orikata to origami came into use in
    1880.  This ancient Japanese art of folding
    paper has become increasingly complex
    over the years. The applications for
    origami principles have expanded into
    furniture design, home decor, architecture,
    installation art, robotics design,
    engineering, and medical solutions.

    Although there is no concrete evidence of


    origami existing before 1600, a reference to
    origami butter ies in a poem from 1680
    suggests that it was an established art form
    with much older origins. Two of the earliest
    known books featuring written instructions
    for origami are Tsutsumi-no Ki by Sadatake
    Ise (1764) and Sembazuru Orikata by Akisato
    Rito (1797). Tsutsumi-no Ki (also called
    Haketsuki) provided instructions for 13
    ceremonial folds and Sembazuru Orikata
    contained instructions for recreational
    folding of 49 linked cranes.
    fl
    四 Due to the expense of paper, origami was
    originally limited to the privileged class for
    religious rituals, and formal ceremonies. In the
    Edo period (1603-1868) origami became more
    widespread in Japanese society due to
    the reduced price of washi paper. This gave rise to
    the cultural practice of formal gift wrappers
    (noshi) along with envelopes/paper purses (tato),
    and letter folds for a larger population of society.
    With the end of Sakoku “closed country” (the
    isolationist foreign policy of Japan) in 1853,
    origami practitioners began to incorporate
    Western napkin- folding patterns, patenbriefs
    (folded certi cates), and German kindergarten
    paper folding pedagogy as foreign in uences
    were introduced.
