Origami is the art of folding a flat sheet of paper —usually a square— into a three-dimensional figure without cutting or gluing it.  The Japanese word combines ori (“folding”) and kami (“paper”); the most famous model is the paper crane.\\

!!What origami is
Traditional origami generally uses one uncut sheet of paper and no glue; if cuts are required, the related craft is usually called ''kirigami''. Designs are built from a small vocabulary of folds—such as valley, mountain, squash, pleat, and reverse folds—combined into “bases” that can become animals, flowers, boxes, stars, and abstract geometric sculptures.\\

Although strongly associated with Japan, it  originated in China, and paper-folding traditions also developed elsewhere, including Spain. In Japan, folding was first connected with ceremony and etiquette; it became a popular pastime during the Edo period (1603–1867), when paper became more widely available.\\

!!Why it works well in a story
Origami offers several useful narrative images:
> Transformation: an ordinary sheet becomes a crane, boat, star, or flower—ideal for themes of change, creativity, or hidden potential.
> Patience and precision: each crease matters, making it a good metaphor for care, discipline, or learning from mistakes.  See [https://paper.gatech.edu/kinetic-joy/origami].
> Peace and remembrance: the thousand-paper-cranes tradition is associated with wishes for health and good fortune, and has a strong symbolic connection with Hiroshima.
> Mathematics and engineering: modern origami also intersects with geometry, design, and technology, which can support a science-oriented story, see [https://www.ebsco.com/research-starters/arts-and-entertainment/origami].
