Artists call the traditional Japanese art of paper folding origami. Origami started in Japan long ago. It’s about making detailed shapes and figures by folding one sheet of paper. Usually, you don’t cut, glue, or tape the paper. The word comes from the Japanese terms “ori” (to fold) and “kami” (paper). Origami often starts with simple designs like cranes, boats, and flowers. But it can also include complex models that show precision, patience, and creativity. Today, people around the world admire origami. They see it as a cultural art and a fun, relaxing hobby.
