Origami's history was created in China somewhere around 100AD. Origami is the Japanese word for "paper folding". Japan was in the heavy habit of adopting interesting parts of the Chinese culture, and took up the art around 600AD. It is Japanese origami that has become a world famous cultural emblem.
As in many societies, paper was a luxury item created by hand, and used only for important long lasting purposes. When origami was first introduced to Japan on the rich were able to practice the art of folding paper into exquisite shapes and designs. The creation and designs were a special was of adding meaning, which was held in the paper.
To me duly noted, origami was undoubtedly special. First, the origami shape itself could represent a message. The selection of color and shape help conveyed the true emotions of the artist. Second, origami is an intricate art. If the love message was intercepted, it would be unlikely that the reader could perfectly refold the shape. So the origami love note was very secure. Origami notes could not be read by the wrong person, without the recipient knowing it.
From its inception, origami has held an honored place in ceremonies that were of great importance, such as births, weddings, and funerals to help commemorate the occasion in a unique, hand crafted manner. The origami figures would be treasured by participants for years afterwards.
Origami like any difficult hobby takes patience, some even might say the patience of a hunter. In the past some hunters would have to sit patiently for hours sometimes even days, waiting for the right time to strike and complete his work. The work of origami is no different. Whether it is makeing origami balls, or creating hidden love messages, learning and practicing basic design will increase your proficiency of skill and nerver over time. If you mess up a project, don't worry! Just walk away, take a break, and come back renewed with a fresh and open mind. Origami is a very rewarding art that pays dividens to the artist. Some people who even have medical conditions such as hypertension, have been proven to drop their blood pressure levels by 10% in a matter of 4 weeks! So have fun, be creative, and let your imagination go wild on paper.
