Origami is the traditional Japanese art of paper folding. It began as a practical craft in China and was introduced to Japan in the 7th century. During Japan's Edo period from 1600-1868, origami evolved into a beautiful art form, with intricate crane and boat designs. There are several types of origami, including traditional origami using only folding, modular origami combining many identical pieces, action origami that can move, and wet-folding using damp paper for smooth curves. Origami is taught to children as a fun way to create shapes by folding paper.

Origami

Origami () from ori meaning "folding", and kami meaning "paper Origami is one of the Japans traditional paper-craft arts. You can make many shapes simply by folding a small square of paper. Children are taught how to make origami by their parents or grandparents. Sometimes they learn in kindergarten or preschool.

History of Origami
Much of the early history of origami remains nebulous. It is thought, however, that the arts origins took root during the early seventh century, as the technique of paper making was introduced to Japan by China. The Chinese developed some early paper folding techniques which were later brought to Japan. The introduction of paper had a large impact on Japanese culture, as the Japanese adopted these folding techniques. It also influenced their architecture and rituals of everyday life.

For the most part, early uses for origami were for formal and practical purposes; folding letters and other paper items was a common practice. This changed with the beginning of the Edo period (1600-1868) as origami changed from a practical, to an exquisite and beautiful form of art. The blossoming of the origami art in the Edo period is attributed to the new availability of a cheap and mass-produced form of paper. The paper that was folded during this period took the form of actual objects, such as cranes and boats, rather than simple paper folds. The folds which had been developed prior to the Edo period had been passed down generation to generation.

Types of Origami
Traditional Origami:
An origami is considered as traditional if it doesnt involve actions like cutting, gluing and other special techniques.

Modular Origami:
They are made by sticking or putting together a number of identical pieces to form a complete model. The individual pieces are normally very simple to fold but the assembly part is fairly difficult. Sometimes, a model can be made from hundreds of little parts.

Action origami:
this type of origami is called action origami because you can interact with them. It includes the ones that can fly, or the ones you can blow into to make them inflate.

Wet-folding:
this is rather an origami technique than a type of origami. The principle is to dampen the paper before folding it to make easier to mould because the paper is now very flexible. It produces models with smooth edges and curves rather than sharp straight edges. When the model dries, it keeps its particular form. Generally, a fairly thick sheet of paper must be used in order to get a proper result.
