FAQ About The Cultural Significance of Origami in Global Art and Design
What is origami and where did it originate?
Origami is the traditional Japanese art of paper folding, which transforms a flat sheet of paper into a finished sculpture through folding techniques. It originated in Japan in the 17th century; however, evidence of paper folding in China and Europe dates back even earlier. No cutting or gluing is involved in traditional origami, and the focus is on the use of templates and crease patterns.
