Origami is a Japanese word derived from the terms oru , 'to fold' and kami, 'paper'. It is now practiced all over the world in many different forms. On this page, I will attempt briefly to describe the history of the art of paperfolding. Papermaking is thought to have originated from China and spread to Japan by the 6th Century AD. Simple models such as Noshi, a type of charm for warriors and nobles were folded although paper was expensive. Folding was gradually incorporated into many aspects of day-to-day like, including religion. Models were not diagrammed but were taught from one generation to the next.
