Paper is one of the greatest inventions of mankind, born in the East, and it was there that the first paper figures appeared. Origami (from the Japanese word oru (to fold) and kami (paper) - "folded paper") is the ancient art of folding paper figures. Origami art has its roots in ancient China, where paper was discovered.
Modern origami is a unique sculptural art. Each project requires an individual approach and paper folding technique; this is by no means a mass production process. Although almost any sheet material is suitable for folding, the choice of the latter greatly affects both the folding process and the final appearance of the model.
Many origami masters take great pleasure in the process of creating paper sculptures by folding animals, people, plants, vehicles, and buildings. Some craftsmen create shapes in abstract or mathematical forms, while others prefer modular origami, in which a whole figure is assembled from many identical parts (modules). Each module is folded according to the rules of classic origami from one sheet of paper, and then the modules are connected by nesting them into each other, the frictional force appearing at the same time does not allow the structure to disintegrate.
Robert J. Lang is considered one of the foremost and foremost origami masters. Dr. Lang was born in Ohio and raised in Atlanta, Georgia. After a successful career in physics and engineering, he now devotes all his time to the art of origami. His models are very realistic and complex in execution, and have visited exhibitions in many cities, including Paris (Carrousel du Louvre), New York (Museum of Modern Art), San Diego (Museum of World Folk Art Mingei). Over the past 35 years, the master has created 480 original origami compositions. He has authored and co-authored 8 books and numerous articles on the art of origami.
Since childhood, Brian Chan has been a passionate admirer of the art of origami. And I became even more interested in this art form after hearing Robert Lang's lecture on the secrets of origami design.

Origami groups of people are surprisingly diverse, ranging from scientists to doctors. Craftsmen and craftsmen practice origami in order to be creative and express their individuality. Scientists, architects and mathematicians explore origami geometry to practice their vision of the beauty of form.

But many people do origami, because it's just great, fun and insanely beautiful.
