A Short History of Origami
Origami is a Japanese word which means paper-folding; ori-, meaning "folded," and kami-, meaning "paper." Paper making methods came to Japan sometime during the 6th century from China. Some Historians use this fact to insist that paper folding methods also developed at the same time. The price of the paper may have prohibited the art of paper folding at this time. Because of the expense of the paper, it is implied by some historians that the paper folding was used carefully and for special ceremonial occasions.
