HISTORY OF ORIGAMI

The technique of paper making introduced into Japan by China

during the early seventh century, underwent considerable changes in its
manufacturing process in Japan ,giving rise to a type of ―washi paper
possessing dual qualities of resilient sturdiness and softness which
prevents tearing when it is handled, Washi, a unique and distinct type of
Japanese paper kindled many forms of cultural creativity, among them
origami.

Unfortunately, it is not clear when origami in Japan first originated,

However, well-regulated lifestyle came with the advent of samurai society
which gave rise to the art of paper folding for practical and formal
purposes. From the onset of the Showa period (1926-1989), the art has
rapidly passed into oblivion, but a vestige of its former use can still be
seen in the noshi, a decoration of folded red and white paper attached to
a gift.

Origami made to assume concrete shapes of, for example, a crane or

boat is regarded as origami for pure enjoyment. It began to be made
sometime around the beginning of the Edo period (1600-1868) which
coincided with an age in which mass-produced, low-priced paper came
to be widely used by the people.

During the Genroku era (1688-1704), origami of the crane and several
varieties of boats used as designs on clothing became fashionable, and it
was also reproduced with great frequency in Ukiyoe prints. Origami
rapidly came to have a wide following during this period.

About a hundred years later, books and printed matter devoted

exclusively to origami were published, creating a diverse and advanced
form of origami. They were not only a form of children's amusement, but
also a form intended for adults. Many of these origami were difficult to
make because they incorporated many complicated steps.

The technique of paper making was introduced into Europe in the

twelfth century producing a distinct form of origami. However, origami
was not taken up by a large number of people as it was in Japan.
Not only are there now many imaginative and novel origami creations,
but its educational worth and immense potential have been also
reconsidered and recognized. Origami has gained a widespread following
as a hobby among adults. There are now many origami associations that
have been formed overseas by origami enthusiasts.

The Japanese word "origami" itself is a compound of two smaller

Japanese words: "ori", meaning to fold, and "kami", meaning paper. Until
recently, all forms of paper folding were not grouped under the word
origami, namely "tsutsumi", a kind of wrapper used for formal occasions.
Before that, paper folding for play was known by a variety of names,
including "orikata", "orisue", "orimono", "tatamigami" and others. Exactly
why "origami" became the common name is not known; it has been
suggested that the word was adopted in the kindergartens because the
written characters were easier for young children to write. Another
theory is that the word "origami" was a direct translation of the German
word "Papierfalten", brought into Japan with the Kindergarten Movement
around 1880.

Initially due to the fact that paper was expensive, origami became an art
form practiced only by the elite and was used for practical purposes
such as folding letters. Samurai would give each other little paper good
luck charms known as noshi and Shinto weddings folded paper
butterflies

 THE HISTORY OF PAPER MACHÉ

During the ancient time Paper Maché was developed as the paper
itself and was discovered in the time of Han Dynasty, c. 202 B.C. – 220
A.D. This early time paper was used to make three dimensional objects,
like artifacts, such as helmet and pot lids. During this dynasty,
Paper Maché was described as pasteboard.

From China, the interest in Paper Maché spread to Japan and Persia. It
is use to make mask in celebrating festivals. Eventually it spread across
the world, European start using Paper Maché in making their own
wares from the 1670’s, until the late 1700’s there was a half-heart
intent of paper maché. In 1800’s paper maché was commonly used for
ornamental attachment’s on architecture and furniture, when it became
widely used

The oldest surviving artifacts made of this lightweight but strong

material is a falcon’s coffin from Persia and it was interesting that as of
this day paper maché was recommended to use for human coffins
because it so strong that it was equally as durable as wood.
