Megan+(Origami)

China and the U.S. are 2 very important countries in the world. Both of them have different views on origami. Both of their cultures have interesting ideas on origami. This paper will compare & contrast the 2 ideas. Origami is a traditional Japanese art of paper folding. There are over 80 different types of origami. Some of my favorites are jewelry, fashion, fun, puzzle, and paper crumbling. It first started around 100 A.D. It started in China around the 1950’s. China’s origami is amazing! The smallest origami crane, shown below, was made by Mr. Naito from Japan. The crane was from 0.1 x 0.1 mm. square. He folded it using a microscope and special tools he made himself. U.S.A. - Lillian Oppenheim discovered the flapping bird in the 1940’s. Origami in the U.S.A. is cool! If you look at the picture below the colors and shape of the origami are awesome. I want to learn how to do that someday. I hope from the paper you learned ideas about origami. It is very different between them to. I am very interested on learning more on and about origami. The more colorful it is the more I like origami. Glogster: []
