History: Mostly speculation; little historical evidence China credited with paper origin ca. 1st

century AD Actually silk writing paper-no folding evident

Japanese word for paper is kami Likely made of birch tree or bamboo Earliest use for writing Can mean god or paper causing historical

inaccuracies Meiji restoration (1868-1912)

Brought European and Asian traditions together Developed into modern origami of Japan

“oru” to fold + “kami” means paper thus “to fold paper”

Hand made “washi” paper as preferred medium

Japanese Classic Ceremonial and recreational

European Classic Early 19th Century models

found in German museums Friedrich Frobel used origami

in his kindergarten model Traditional

A hybrid of Japan and Europe Mathematical/Modern

Focus on complex design, creases, folds and common geometric bases

One piece of paper, no cuts or

More than just shapes More about the “expression”

of the paper Focus is on the designer,

folder and appreciation of the viewer

Cannot be reproduced The same sequence by

different folders using different paper results in unique works
