What is Origami?Origami is an art of paperfolding. You can fold sheets of paper into ships, animals, or flowers. It is a lot of fun, especially for children. The paper itself has some charm since it is made by someone with sincerity. So you should not spoil it when you fold. In addition, if you cannot draw more charm from the sheet of paper by folding, there will be no sense in folding it. Origami resembles cooking in this respect. As you should make the most of the nature of food in cooking, you should make the most of the nature of paper in origami. And as the finest cuisine can be a moving fine art, origami can. You can make many complex models, such as a six legged and four winged beetle, with a sheet of square paper. But remember all the shapes are prepared in it. No one can elicit what the piece of paper does not embrace. Origami resembles the theater in this respect. Scriptwriters in the theater are equivalent to designers in origami, actors to sheets of paper, and directors to folders. While you make the paper into the shape you want, you should consider into what shape the paper wants to be. Origami HistoryTraditional origami has been born and brought up in the cultural exchange between East and West. It is not a Japanese original culture but intrinsically a hybrid of Japan and Europe. Although it is most popular in Japan, it has been inherited in Europe, the Americas, China, and so forth since 19th century or the early 20th. Traditional Versus Modern OrigamiIn traditional origami, the folding sequences and titles are passed down as something anonymous, not as something made up by a specific person. Modern origami, which started in 20th century, is based on the completely different paradigm. The folding sequences of modern origami are regarded as models designed by origami creators. |
