We all remember doing
paper folding during our early stages in school, the popular ones being
paper box, ball and
plane. In Kenya kids are taught the paper folding art in Nursery schools during which children are very young to learn and take anything that is so diverse seriously. So it normally stops there and most people take it as a children art. I never knew that very complex structures and models can be made using a flat sheet of paper.
The history of origami is under debate. Unlike other art forms, paper degrades quickly leaving no artifacts to suggest where origami originated and who first invented it.
Origami is believed to be a Japanese compound word which means “paper folding.”
