Traditionally, the art of making objects by folding paper originated in Japan. The word Origami literally means folding of paper and is derived by combining �Ori� meaning folding and �Kami� meaning paper. Origami requires the use of a square sheet of paper that is colored on one side and white on the other, and by means of a number of different folds, various objects can be created. However, the early days of Origami suggest that the Japanese did not bind themselves to any conventions and even used rectangular, circular and triangular sheets and also cut the paper wherever and whenever necessary. For Origami, any material with a smooth texture would be ideal; however one must keep in mind that this material has a direct impact on the final look of the object. There are special Origami papers available. These papers are precut in squares and come in various colors. Apart from the conventional one-side colored paper, some papers are made multi colored, dual colored or patterned for color changing models. Unryu, lokta, hanji, gampi, kozo and saa are papers used by Origami artisans. These papers have fibers that add to the strength of the paper. They don�t tear easily and provide an impressive final product. Foil-backed paper is also used, usually for making complicated models. Origami incorporates mathematical topics such as flat-foldability. From the mathematical usage evolved technical Origami, also known as Origami Sekkei. During the early days, making objects was a mere trial and error process. Technical Origami has provided the ability to theoretically plot the step by step process of folding the paper.
