Origami

Origami is the art of folding paper. Glue or scissors are usually not used.

One of the most popular folding objects is the crane. It is said that 1000 cranes make a wish come true. 1000 cranes are given to sick people in order to wish them a fast recovery. The folded crane is also a symbol for peace. In the peace parks of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, large numbers of folded cranes are laid down besides the monuments that remember the atomic bombs.

Other popular folding objects are flowers, balloons, gold fish, frogs, swans, and many more.
