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.
Through different folding techniques like the Yoshimura pattern (an inverted diamond pattern), Miura Ori pattern (a repetition of reverse folds resulting in a diamond pattern), and the Diagonal pattern (series of parallelograms folded at a diagonal) [11] - all were very successful due to their Origami diamond and herringbone patterns.
Geometric Origami is a book on the mathematics of paper folding, focusing on the ability to simulate and extend classical straightedge and compass constructions using origami. It was written by Austrian mathematician Robert Geretschläger [ de ] and published by Arbelos Publishing (Shipley, UK) in 2008.
Akira Yoshizawa (吉澤 章, Yoshizawa Akira, 14 March 1911 – 14 March 2005) was a Japanese origamist, considered to be the grandmaster of origami.He is credited with raising origami from a craft to a living art.
The first seven axioms were first discovered by French folder and mathematician Jacques Justin in 1986. [1] Axioms 1 through 6 were rediscovered by Japanese-Italian mathematician Humiaki Huzita and reported at the First International Conference on Origami in Education and Therapy in 1991. Axioms 1 though 5 were rediscovered by Auckly and ...
Origami is a magic stage illusion with a Japanese paperfolding theme, designed by Jim Steinmeyer. It was originally performed in 1986 by Canadian illusionist Doug Henning , using a working prop constructed by illusion builder John Gaughan .
[1] [2] In Japan, ceremonial origami is generally called "origata" to distinguish it from recreational origami. The term "origata" is one of the old terms for origami. [3] [4] [5] The small number of basic origami folds can be combined in a variety of ways to make intricate designs. The best-known origami model is the Japanese paper crane.
