Palimaru is a traditional Japanese art form that involves the intricate folding and cutting of paper to create detailed designs. This craft often incorporates elements of nature, such as flowers and animals, and is used to make decorative items, gifts, and ornaments. The technique requires precision and creativity, as artisans carefully manipulate the paper to achieve the desired shapes and patterns. Origami, another well-known Japanese paper art, shares similarities with Palimaru, but focuses primarily on folding rather than cutting. Both forms celebrate the beauty and versatility of paper in artistic expression.
