The Origins of Origami

Origami finds its roots in ancient Japan, where the art form developed during the Edo period (1603-1868). The word "origami" itself is a combination of two Japanese words: "oru" (to fold) and "kami" (paper). Initially, origami was used mainly for ceremonial purposes and was limited to a select few. However, as Japan opened up to the world, origami's popularity spread, captivating people across continents.
