Origami originated in Japan as a ceremonial art form using paper. During the Edo period, it became both recreational and ceremonial, sometimes with complex cuts and folds. In the 1800s, instructions began to be written and children studied origami. Akira Yoshizawa modernized origami in the 1930s by developing a system of diagrams. This led to greater standardization and popularity globally. Today, some practice mathematical origami, modeling complex crease patterns before folding. Paper weaving is a related art that uses thin paper strips glued together into durable, colorful designs. A recycled origami basket can be made by folding paper strips and weaving them together, then adding sides and a top rim reinforced with ribbon.

ORIGAMI
• is a Japanese term (from ori meaning
"folding", and kami meaning "paper" (kami
changes to gami due to rendaku) is the art of
paper folding, which is often linked with
Japanese culture.
HISTORY OF ORIGAMI
ORIGAMI OF CLASSIC AND TRADITIONAL ORIGIN

• Paper was first invented around 105 A.D. in


China, and in the sixth century was brought
to Japan by monks. Handmade paper was
a luxury object for a few, and paper folding in
ancient Japan was primarily for ceremonial
purposes, mostly religious in nature.
• By the Edo period (1603–1868), paper
folding had become both recreational and
ceremonial in Japan, sometimes featuring
numerous cuts and folds. It came to be
recognized as a modern art form allowed by
the invention of paper, both mass – produced
and more affordable.
• Tokugawa period,
also called Edo
period, (1603–1867),
the final period of
traditional Japan, a
time of internal peace,
political stability, and 
economic growth under
the shogunate (military
dictatorship) founded
by Tokugawa Ieyasu.
• Written instructions for paper folding first
appeared in 1797, with Sembazuru
Orikata, by Akisato Rito or “thousand
crane folding.” In Europe and Japan by
the 1800s, kindergarten-aged children were
studying paper folding.
AKISATO RITŌ
• A poet and writer who lived in Kyoto in the mid to late
Edo period. Dates of birth and death are unknown.
His books Miyako meisho zue (Pictorial guide to
scenic spots in Kyoto) (1780) and Miyako rinsen
meishō zue (Pictorial guide to gardens in Kyoto)
(1799) were extremely popular. He contributed to the
spread of skills in garden construction through the
publication of Ishigumisonō yaegakiden (Garden
stones and hedges) (1827), Tsukiyamateizōden kōhen
) (Hill garden construction, part 2) (1828), and other
books on gardening.
MODERN ORIGAMI
• Akira Yoshizawa, who
died at the age of 94 in
2005, is believed to be one
of the progenitors of
modern origami. In the
1930s, using a series of
symbols, arrows and
diagrams,he developed
a method of folding
patterns.
• Those patterns were published and widely
available by the 1950s, leading to the global
scope and standardization of origami.
Yoshizawa and other masters of origami
founded local and international
organizations which promoted the craft.
• Today, as seen in BETWEEN
THE FOLDS, origami has
expanded to include advanced
mathematical theories. Prior
to folding, mathematical
origami pioneers such as Jun
Maekawa and Peter Engel
modeled complex and
mathematically based crease
patterns that stressed the
puzzle aspect of origami, using
the criteria of using one piece
of uncut paper.
Paper Weaving

PAPER WEAVING

• Paper Weaving is an art where thin


strips or sheets of paper are glued together
to make new designs that are durable, and
colorful.
How to make
Recycled origami
Basket?
PROCEDURE
1. Remove the fold from the section of your paper to each
of the 12 inches x 22 inches of each page. 
2. Fold each page along its length in half, then into eighths.
The resulting rectangular strips should be about 1-1⁄2
inches x 22 inches. You 're going to need a lot of them.
3. Start by weaving, as shown, the centers of four strips. A
single staple or a glue dot can be placed at each overlap
to hold it in place if necessary.
4. Continue to weave strips to your choosing dimension.
Example 10 strips x 8 strips (overall 15 "x 12")
5. Simple fold all strips up at 90 degrees for the side of
the basket, and continue weaving. Make sure your
strips remain tightly woven. In doing so, be patient. 
6. Bend your side strips at the corners, and continue to
weave along the adjacent edges. Glue or staples are
especially recommended for holding things in place.
7. Add a double-folded strip along the top edge. This
could add force to the top rim. Glue over the inside
of the basket. 
8. Add a ribbon to the basket for decoration along the
four sides.
