What is Origami?
Origami (折り紙?) or paper folding is an art that consists of folding paper without using scissors or glue to obtain figures of varied shapes, many of which could be considered paper sculptures. In the strict sense, origami is a type of paper folding of Japanese origin that includes certain restrictions (for example, it does not allow cuts in the paper, and it starts from certain bases), so origami is paper folding but not all paper folding is origami.
The particularity of this technique is the transformation of paper into shapes of different sizes starting from an initial square or rectangular base, which can range from simple models to folds of great complexity. Origami models the environment around us and in which we live: fauna and flora of all the continents, urban life, tools of our everyday life, mythological animals and a myriad of other figures.
Origami began with paper and has been developing very quickly from the late 1960s to the present day. According to Lafosse, we are in the most important historical moment in the history of paper folding. New design techniques have been discovered and popularised, spread thanks to the Internet and origami associations around the world. The incorporation of mathematics is a new subject, which was not considered in the past, and which has gained strength over the last 30 years. Computing since the 1990s has made it possible to optimise the use of paper and to create new bases for complex figures, such as insects.
