Origami
Origami is a Japanese art form that involves folding paper into objects. The word "origami" comes from the Japanese words "ori," meaning fold, and "kami," meaning paper.
Origami can be used to create two-dimensional and three-dimensional subjects. The goal is to transform a flat square sheet of paper into a finished sculpture through folding and sculpting techniques. Traditionally, origami does not include the use of glue, tape, marks or scissors.
The most famous origami model is called the “Orizuru”, and represents a crane. Cranes have long lifespans, and have been familiar to Japanese people as a lucky animal since ancient times. Cranes are characterized by their long necks and beaks.
The standard origami paper" kami" varies in size from around 7.5cm x 7.5cm (about 3 inch) all the way up to 35cm x 35 cm (about 14 inch) squares and can be used for most kinds of origami. + Holds creases very well and is very easy to use.
Origami, the ancient art of paper folding, has applications in the modern-day classroom for teaching geometry, thinking skills, fractions, problem solving, and fun science.
An origamist or an origamian is a person who is associated with the art of origami.
The world's oldest book on origami, published in 1797, is titled Hiden Senbazuru Orikata (How to Fold a Thousand Cranes), which provides detailed instructions for folding paper cranes.
Himanshu has been practicing origami since 1989 and has set five world records for large origami installations. His studio, 'Orukami' is a homage to the ancient art of paper folding.
