Japanese monks folded origami figures for religious purposes. Origami was also used in various formal ceremonies, such as the practice of folding paper butterflies to adorn sake bottles at a Japanese couple's wedding reception.
Tsutsumi, folded paper gift wrappers, were used in some ceremonies to symbolize sincerity and purity. Tsuki, folded pieces of paper accompanying a valuable gift, are another example of ceremonial paper folding since these models would act as a certificate of authenticity.
As paper became more affordable, common people began making origami figures as gifts or creating folded cards and envelopes for their correspondence. Origami also started to be used as an educational tool, since the folding process involves many concepts that are relevant to the study of mathematics.
This book was more about cultural customs than a series of instructions, however. There is a traditional story in Japan that says if a person folds 1, paper cranes , they will be granted one special wish. Akira Yoshizawa is often known as the "grandmaster of origami. In his 20s, he used his knowledge of origami to teach new employees in the factory where he worked on the geometry concepts needed to complete their jobs. This work established the basis for the symbols and notations that we use today when describing how to fold a particular model.
It was also the catalyst that turned Yoshizawa into an origami superstar. He spent the rest of his life serving as a sort of "cultural ambassador" for Japan as he brought greater awareness of origami techniques to the rest of the world. Although origami is typically associated with Japan, paper folding became popular in Europe, too.
However, no one will dispute that Japan developed origami to a very high art form. Most origami instructions were passed on by oral tradition. Paper folding or papiroflexia subsequently became very popular in Spain and South America. All rights reserved. The film then moves to less conventional artists, exploring concepts of minimalism, deconstruction, process and empiricism.
Abstract artists emerge with a greater emphasis on concept, chopping at the fundamental roots of realism, which have long dominated traditional origami. The film also features advanced mathematicians and a remarkable scientist who received a MacArthur Genius Award for his computational origami research.
