Origami is the art of folding paper (or art of paper folding) originating from Japan.
Origami in Japanese is derived from two words: ori is folded or folded and kami is paper. Origami was only used since 1880; Before that, the Japanese used the word orikata.
Origami combines simple folding methods to convert rectangular (2 dimensional) paper, which is usually square, into complex (3-dimensional) shapes, without cutting or folding during folding, which is also the trend of Modern origami. Unlike one would expect, traditional Japanese origami rules (beginning around the Edo period 1603-1867) are less stringent than modern origami: folding paper can be round, triangular, and Can cut in the folding process.
