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.
The Bug Wars were origami contests among members of the Origami Detectives (Tanteidan in Japanese) which started when one member made a bug, a horned beetle with outspread wings, from a single sheet of paper: this design provoked other members to design more complex origami in the shape of bugs, such as wasps and praying mantises.

The placement of a point on a curved fold in the pattern may require the solution of elliptic integrals. Curved origami allows the paper to form developable surfaces that are not flat. [41] Wet-folding origami is a technique evolved by Yoshizawa that allows curved folds to create an even greater range of shapes of higher order complexity.
Despite only 1.1% of the Japanese population being Christian, according to the U.S. State Department, post-World War II Japan has largely observed Christmas, in part due to the large U.S. military ...
During World War II, Yoshizawa served in the army medical corps in Hong Kong. He made origami models to cheer up the sick patients, but eventually fell ill himself and was sent back to Japan. [2] His origami work was creative enough to be included in the 1944 book Origami Shuko, by Isao Honda (本多 功).
