オリ (Fold)
オリ (Fold) is a traditional Japanese art form that involves folding paper into intricate shapes and designs. This practice, known as 折り紙 (origami), transforms a flat sheet of paper into a three-dimensional object through a series of precise folds. It can create various figures, from simple animals to complex geometric shapes, and is enjoyed by people of all ages.
The origins of 折り紙 date back to the 17th century, although paper folding likely existed even earlier. Today, it is not only a popular craft but also a tool for education, promoting creativity and fine motor skills. Many enthusiasts participate in 折り紙 competitions and exhibitions worldwide.
