Kirigami is a traditional Japanese art form that involves cutting paper to create intricate designs and shapes. Unlike origami, which focuses on folding paper without cutting, kirigami allows for both cutting and folding, resulting in three-dimensional structures and decorative pieces. Artists use various techniques to create detailed patterns, often inspired by nature, architecture, or cultural symbols. Kirigami can be used for various purposes, including greeting cards, decorations, and educational tools, making it a versatile and accessible craft for people of all ages.
