The fascinating world of Origami

"Origami!!!!!!!!!"

Origami...... It is one of the fascinating things I've always wanted to learn... There maybe many like me out there... So here is for all u ppl.... Let's learn Origami step by step...

First, lets formally look into the world of Origami and know its true meaning... The Art of Origami is one of the cultural treasures of mankind that offers us enormous amounts of joy.

Origami is the ancient Japanese art of paper folding. The Japanese word "ORU" means "to fold" and "KAMI" means "paper".

So that finishes of the formal definition of Origami....

Exploring deeper into it... What exactly makes up this Origami and where lies its Charm?

Well, much of the charm of Origami lies in its simplicity. There lies a square, there are the folds. There are only two types of folds:

1. The mountain folds (which form a ridge)
2. The valley folds (which form a trough)

So, Square + Mountain folds + Valley folds is the recipe for nearly all of Origami

How simple can it get?

Well, It is almost simple once we get to learn it.
