HISTORY OF ORIGAMI
The technique of paper making introduced into Japan by China during the early
seventh century, underwent considerable changes in its manufacturing process in Japan,giving
rise to a type of ―washi‖ paper possessing dual qualities of resilient sturdiness and softness
which prevents tearing when it is handled, Washi, a unique and distinct type of Japanese paper
kindled many forms of cultural creativity, among them origami.
Unfortunately, it is not clear when origami in Japan first originated, however, well-
regulated lifestyle came with the advent of samurai society which gave rise to the art of paper
folding for practical and formal purposes. From the onset of the Showa period (1926-1989),
the art has rapidly passed into oblivion, but a vestige of its former use can still be seen in the
noshi, a decoration of folded red and white paper attached to a gift.
Origami made to assume concrete shapes of, for example, a crane or boat is regarded
as origami for pure enjoyment. It began to be made sometime around the beginning of the Edo
period (1600-1868) which coincided with an age in which mass-produced, low-priced paper
came to be widely used by the people.
During the Genroku era (1688-1704), origami of the crane and several varieties of
boats used as designs on clothing became fashionable, and it was also reproduced with great
frequency in Ukiyoe prints. Origami rapidly came to have a wide following during this period.
About a hundred years later, books and printed matter devoted exclusively to origami
were published, creating a diverse and advanced form of origami. They were not only a form
of children's amusement, but also a form intended for adults. Many of these origami were
difficult to make because they are incorporated with many complicated steps.
The technique of paper making was introduced into Europe in the twelfth century producing
a distinct form of origami. However, origami was not taken up by a large number of people as it
was in Japan. There are also many imaginative and novel origami creations, but its educational
worth and immense potential have been also reconsidered and recognized. Origami has gained a
widespread following as a hobby among adults. There are now many origami associations that have
been formed overseas by origami enthusiasts.
The Japanese word "origami" itself is a compound of two smaller Japanese words: "ori",
meaning to fold, and "kami", meaning paper. Until recently, all forms of paper folding were not
grouped under the word origami, namely "tsutsumi", a kind of wrapper used for formal occasions.
Before that, paperfolding for play was known by a variety of names, including "orikata", "orisue",
"orimono", "tatamigami" and others. Exactly why "origami" became the common name is not
known; it has been suggested that the word was adopted in the kindergartens because the written
characters were easier for young children to write. Another theory is that the word "origami" was a
direct translation of the German word "Papierfalten", brought into Japan with the Kindergarten
Movement around 1880.
Initially due to the fact that paper was expensive, origami became an art form practiced only
by the elite and was used for practical purposes such as folding letters. Samurai would give each
other little paper good luck charms known as noshi and Shinto weddings folded paper butterflies

LESSON 1: PERFORM ORIGAMI PRODUCTION
Learning Outcome 2
Plan a design and pattern for an Origami Paper Craft
Planning a design and pattern in Origami is very crucial. You have to make a plan on what kind
of Origami object you want to create. Does it have to be creative, functional and durable? Or to
what purpose do you create with.
The diagram below is an example of a base on the Origami vase in 3D design. It indicated the
number of pieces of Origami fold we need to make. Plan the measurement of the proposed
Origami in terms of height, circumference and the diameter of the base of your object.
You can use a graphing paper and a crayon or coloring pen in marking the rows and column and
do the counting. Then we can estimate the number of Origami paper we are going to fold.
After folding, you can now divide the number of folds based on the form or color of the vase
you want to create. You can start assembling them.
