Origarmi History

Origarmi is a traditional japanese art. ori means "folding" and kami means "paper". this art form started in the 17th century AD and then became populaur around other places than Japan around the mid 1900's.
it has now turned into a moderm art form that through folding can create sculptures and unquie designs. the aim of true Origarmi is to create something without the use of glue or small cuts. you are only allowed to use the paper itself.

The Japanese used coloured paper that they created to make their designs look indivual and more exciting to the eye. however most of the time the paper had to have the print on both sides so that there wouldnt be white bits showing when the paper was folded.
