Origami is the traditional Japanese art of paper folding, where intricate sculptures and forms are created by folding a single sheet of paper. The word "origami" comes from the Japanese words "ori," meaning fold, and "kami," meaning paper. Origami is not only a creative and artistic expression but also a meditative and meticulous process. Artists can fold paper into a multitude of shapes, including animals, plants, and geometric patterns. It requires precision, patience, and an understanding of the principles of geometry. Did you know? Origami has therapeutic benefits and is often used in art therapy. The repetitive and focused nature of folding paper can reduce stress and anxiety while enhancing concentration and mindfulness. The Midlibrary score is 8/9 (the peonies look as if they are made of paper, but the paper is not really 'folded' as the technique requires).
