Origami

[|Hannah (origami)]

Origami Have you ever seen or made amazing origami? Well, many people think origami came from China, but it started in Japan. The first origami piece made was in China. In this essay, I will be talking about the differences of what origami means in the United States compared how it is used in China. I will also talk about the different types of origami. Origami has a big importance to China’s civilization because China does not just use origami as an amusing art form, and they also use it for story telling. In the story, “The Boy who Cried Wolf,” you would make a wolf, a boy and other towns people out of folded paper and use it to tell the story. China also uses origami for decoration at parties along with paper lanterns. China has many amazing sculptures of origami. China usually makes origami on regular basis. In the United States, the only people that make origami on a regular basis are people who teach art and like doing it as a hobby. China also uses a different kind origami called kirigami. We use kirigami to make snow flakes by folding and cutting out white paper. Origami is known all around the world. Some people do origami all the time and some just for fun. But, always remember that origami is so important to China and their Culture.
