The origami’s style


Origami (from ori meaning "folding", and kami meaning "paper" ) is the Japanese art of paper folding. This process started in the 17 century AD ( 17 centuries before Jesus Christ was born ) but was popularized in the 19 century.

The Goal:
The goal is to transform a simple paper into a beautiful sculpture. You dispose of many techniques to do this. You need also yours hands to fold the paper and sometimes you can take scissors or glue but it’s not considered as Origami. Origami is just the art of paper folding

One Legend:
The most well known origami model is the Japanese paper crane. There is an old Japanese legend about this crane model. This legend promises that anyone who arrives to fold a thousand origami crane models will receive a wish, such a long life or recovery from illness. Because of this legend, the origami crane became a symbol of peace in Japan.
