The art of folding Japanese or Origami paper (摺紙) is the art of folding paper (or paper folding art) originating from Japan.
The word origami in Japanese comes from two words: ori is folded or folded and kami is paper. Origami is only used since 1880; before that, the Japanese used the word orikata.
Origami combines simple folding ways to turn rectangular pieces of paper (2-dimensional), which are usually square, into complex shapes (3-dimensional), without collage during folding, which is also the trend of Modern origami. Unlike people often think, the traditional origami rules of Japan (starting from the Edo period 1603-1867), are less stringent than modern origami: folding paper can be circular, triangle, and Can collage during folding.
