About Origami
Some refuse to cut their paper; others snip to great effect. In either case, paper folders are practicing the art of origami, a form?created in Japan?hundreds of years ago by an innovator whose name has been lost to time.?However, it?was Friedrich Froebel, the German educator who coined the term “kindergarten,” who popularized the practice outside Japan in the early 1800s, with contemporary artists like?Fumiaki Kawahata and?Peter Engel advancing techniques even further. Today, origami societies exist the world over to practice their art and render the world’s beauty into carefully folded forms.
