Origami

Origami is associated with the Japanese culture.Origami is best known for folding papers into incredible figures. Origami is also a form of art. It is a unique form of art, because it is just paper, and what a person does is fold papers in various ways until we see a figure. Any paper will do, but it essential for the paper to be squared. Origami paper are always squared with one side colored or with a pattern, and a white blank side to it. Origami paper in Japan, is also known as kami. There are a lot of techniques used in the folding process. Not all sculptures take the same amount of time. In some professions people do take as much time as needed. During the folding process there are some foldings, reverse foldings, squash folds, mountain and valley folds, pleats, and sinks. Sometimes it can get complicated because beginners do get lost, but with practice they can create decent sculptures. Besides paper, some folders like to use a table or a hard surface. Other users don’t need a surface. However, complex sculptures do need a little bit more tools such as a bone folder, to make creases much more easier. Paper clips are sometimes used as a support. Paper clips serve as extra fingers. Anyone can start as simple, and can go beyond.
