Origami is the Japanese art of paper folding, coming from the Japanese words 'ori'
what does folding mean, and 'gami' which means paper. Origami is an exciting occupation

of the group, serves for help and encouragement whether they are children, young people, or adults. Its great advantage is
without a doubt the material used, just "paper".

origami in order to be able to teach it as entertainment for children, young people,
elderly, as therapy for patients with mental and physical disadvantages, as a means
of skill, or as a demonstration of the principles of geometry, or simply

to make individual greeting cards.

paper, which was invented by the Chinese in the 2nd century AD. At that time, Japan was a country
in development, and they adopted almost everything from the Chinese, from the social structure, Buddhism
as religion, writing and artisanal techniques. It was only in the 7th century AD that it was known the

It is known by the Arabs and much later by Europe in general.

Learning the Basics:

1955 Yoshizawa, his first book, "Atarashi Origami Geijutsu", ("New Art of Folding"
"paper" was published, and it contains the lines of different familiar points for valley and
mountain folds.

Also in the summer of 1955, Gershon Legman had the first exhibition of Yoshizawa in
the West, in Amsterdam. Since then, Yoshizawa became extensively known in the
West, for how he made his system of dotted lines and arrows for diagrams. A roll.

The system of dotted lines and arrows was devised by Yoshizawa; this is a great
probability. The actual date would have been 1950 or earlier. It could be observed that Honda
he has continued using his 'P' symbol for his many books, even in 'The World of
"Origami" from 1965. Later, Robert Harbin introduced the pumpkin fold, fold of
petal, rabbit ear, etc. In "Paper Magic" in 1956. But although he then knows
about Yoshizawa, he did not use his dotted lines in the books. They were designed
by Rolf Harris, they were hand-drawn sketches. Shortly thereafter, in private correspondence, Sam
Randlett and Robert Harbin agreed that it was a comprehensive system of symbols and
terminology. These included the regular bases and in these the names were given

The system commonly referred to as "Yoshizawa-Randlett System". The name was given by
someone with partial knowledge of the facts, and maybe because the system was first
completely described by Sam Randlett in his book "The Art of Origami" (1961). The

"wind" seems to have gone off the path. The complete system first appeared in the "Art of
"Origami" by Randlett in 1961, followed by "The Best of Origami" in 1963. By 1964, the
publication of "Secrets of Origami" before Robert Harbin applied the same symbols
with a few modifications. With this family system of symbols for Origami, they were

there was a trend among some to consider them just 'bases' and they were
imbued with an almost mystical meaning. A broader concept of 'Classical Foundations'

windmill and exotic ones such as the bird base and the stretched bird base. A base is
only one scenario in the folding process

Full of a collection of basic folds and techniques, they make up the system with
variations in symbols and different ways of folding.

It could be assumed that the bases of David Brill or perhaps those of Max Hulme were
developed independently in 1970 and used in various ways for animals

folding instructions for those models. In the Dominican Republic the first
Origami figures are made by the Japanese immigrants brought by Rafael Leónidas Trujillo to
to work in the lands of Constanza and Central Cibao. The localities where they settled.
to those waves of immigrants were: Bonao, Constanza, Jarabacoa and others. With the
traditional Japanese kindness, those farmers in their moments of interaction with the
local population began to make and give away Origami figures, which amazed for their
impeccable beauty. Some Dominicans learned to make figures, but without much
incidence that could be expressed in their family circles and in the communities.
