Origami is a Japanese art of paper-folding. 'Ori' means folding and 'kami' means paper in Japanese. Although it is taken for granted that origami must have originated in Japan; this is not the actual case. Origami originated in ancient China around first century AD and it was introduced in Japan by Chinese travelers. This Chinese art of paper-folding soon caught fancy of the Japanese who developed various origami shapes.
Origami was practiced only by the wealthy Japanese noblemen. As paper was expensive during that period, it was used by the affluent Japanese to show their skill and wealth. The Samurai would exchange gifts of folded paper with a strip of dried fish or meat, known as 'noshi'. This was considered as a good luck token. The Shinto noblemen celebrated weddings by wrapping glasses of rice wine in butterfly shaped origami representing the bride and groom.
As time passed, paper became less expensive. People from different social backgrounds could practice the art of origami. The origami instructions were passed on orally from mother to daughter, generation to generation. There were no written manuscripts of origami instructions due to high rate of illiteracy and most families didn't want their ideas to be copied by others. The first book, Hiden Senbazuru Orikata (The Secret of One Thousand Cranes Origami), containing origami instructions was published in 1797.
