Oragami

Origami is the delicate art of paper folding that began in ancient China and has spread itself around the world. It originally began in China, not Japan as many believe it to be. Japan took to this craft during the 6th century, and has never let go since.

Back in the day, only the rich could do origami. Paper wasn't as common back then as it today, which made it much more valuable. Origami used to be taught by physically showing the next generation how to make the figure. The first "how-to do origami" book was released in 1719. It was //How to Fold 1000 Cranes//. It had written instructions on how to fold paper to make a crane. Later, many more books began to be published using woodblock printing. With the help of these books, origami began a recreation. Today, there are many books and websites telling you how to make certain origami figures. Practically everything can be made using the art of origami, ranging from cars to zebras,letters, etc.
