Origami is the Japanese art of paper folding. The word itself is derived from two Japanese words – Ori (folded) and Kami (paper).
The paper originated in China and so did paper folding in the 1st or 2nd century. This art form reached Japan in the 6th century, where it gained cultural and religious significance. For example, in Japan it is believed that folding 1,000 paper cranes gives a person a chance to make one special wish come true.
Usually, only a single sheet of paper is used, with minimal or no cutting. The paper models range from representations of everyday life and objects, practical objects, and geometric shapes, besides others. Animals are the most popular origami models though.
