Origami
Origami is the traditional Japanese art of paper folding, where a single sheet of paper is transformed into intricate designs and shapes—without the use of cuts or glue. From simple figures like cranes and flowers to complex creations like animals, objects, and even modular structures, origami combines creativity, precision, and patience. It’s not just an art form but also a meditative and educational practice that enhances concentration, spatial skills, and fine motor abilities. Over time, origami has evolved beyond its cultural roots, inspiring artists and enthusiasts around the world.
