Origami is a famous ancient art form that originated in Japan and its name literally means folding paper. This art consists of folding a single sheet of square paper into a beautiful sculpture without even going through the processes of cutting, glueing, taping, and marking, thus making it fun and hassle-free. With the development of civilizations, Origami became very popular throughout the globe. The everyday artist is taking a deep dive into the world of this art to develop and innovate new methods and technologies.
