I know that you know the word Origami.A paper folding art.
The name origami is dervived from tow Japanese words "Ori" (means fold) and "gami"(means paper).
so you might say Origami,this art came from Japan but actually the origin of Origami came from China.
I've heard that Origami can be traced in China where paper was invented in the firt place but yeah...we Japanese made it as an art:)
Many Japanese kids can fold very neat stuff by using a papar.we usually learn at school.
I have folded heart in the picture.....:)

I didnt' know of the history of Origami. I thought it was only a japanese creation. Anyway it is a cool art. chinese and japanese do the art of fold papers and not only that. For example when i go the chinese restaurant they fold napkins in a way very artistic!
the only origami I can do is a little ship and a kind of duck mouth, It is very simple I used to do that when I was at elementary. I can do airplans with paper. Once I donwloaded a program to make lot of different airplans. There were some kind of airplain i did with that program that fly some meters far.

Thank you for your comment,I think Origami can be
hard sometimes depends on what you want to make and
how much details that you want to put in :)
Some aren't that hard and can make pretty good objects,
I hope you will try some of easy and simple but cute
things sometimes :)
