Pureland origami is a style of origami invented by the British paper folder John Smith that is limited to using only mountain and valley folds, folded one at a time. The aim of Pureland origami is to make origami easier for inexperienced folders and those who have impaired motor skills. [ 1 ]
In the early 1980s, Professor Chatani began to experiment with cutting and folding paper to make unique and interesting pop-up cards. He used the techniques of origami (Japanese paper folding) and kirigami (Japanese papercutting), as well as his experience in architectural design, to create intricate patterns that played with light and shadow.

Origami paper and a traditional origami crane. Origami paper is the paper used for origami, the art of Japanese paper folding.The only real requirement of the folding medium is that it must be able to hold a crease, but should ideally also be thinner than regular paper for convenience when multiple folds over the same small paper area are required (e.g. such as would be the case if creating an ...
The origami crane diagram, using the Yoshizawa–Randlett system. The Yoshizawa–Randlett system is a diagramming system used to describe the folds of origami models. Many origami books begin with a description of basic origami techniques which are used to construct the models.
There are two traditional methods for making polyhedra out of paper: polyhedral nets and modular origami.In the net method, the faces of the polyhedron are placed to form an irregular shape on a flat sheet of paper, with some of these faces connected to each other within this shape; it is cut out and folded into the shape of the polyhedron, and the remaining pairs of faces are attached together.
