History
The art of origami originated in China as paper folding. During the 6th century, Buddist monks from China took paper to Japan, beginning the art form, which later became a significant aspect of Japanese ceremony. Samurai warriors exchanged gifts decorated wit noshi, which is made of folded strips of paper. To present the bride and groom, origami butterflies were used during Shinto weddings. In the 1960's, Origami began to become popular world-wide, becoming an international art. -
