ORIGAMI
[noun]
(from ori meaning “folding”, and kami meaning “paper”; kami changes to gami due to rendaku) - the traditional Japanese art of paper folding, which started in the 17th century AD at the latest and was popularised outside of Japan in the mid-1900s. It has since then evolved into a modern and postmodern art form. The goal of this art is to transform a flat sheet of material into a finished sculpture through folding and sculpting techniques, and as such the use of cuts or glue are not considered to be origami. Paper cutting and gluing is usually considered kirigami.
