The two main types of origami symbol are lines and arrows [2] — arrows show how origami paper is bent or moved, while lines show various types of edges: A thick line shows the edge of the paper; A dashed line shows a valley fold. The paper is folded in front of itself.
Given two points p 1 and p 2 and a line l 1, there is a fold that places p 1 onto l 1 and passes through p 2. This axiom is equivalent to finding the intersection of a line with a circle, so it may have 0, 1, or 2 solutions. The line is defined by l 1, and the circle has its center at p 2, and a radius equal to the distance from p 2 to p 1. If ...
Jeremy Shafer is an American professional entertainer and origamist based in Berkeley, California.He has been folding origami since he was ten. He creates his own origami designs which tend to be whimsical and unique, such as his "Man Swatter", "BARF Bag" and his working origami household items, like his "Nail Clippers" and his awesome "Swiss Army Knife".

A Japanese sword authentication paper (Origami) from 1702 that Hon'ami Kōchū certified a tantō made by Yukimitsu in the 14th century as authentic. From a global perspective, the term 'origami' refers to the folding of paper to shape objects for entertainment purposes, but it has historically been used in various ways in Japan.
Crease pattern for a swordsman. A crease pattern (commonly referred to as a CP) [1] is an origami diagram that consists of all or most of the creases in the final model, rendered into one image. This is useful for diagramming complex and super-complex models, where the model is often not simple enough to diagram efficiently.
For some (multi-vertex) folding patterns, it is necessary to curve or bend the paper while transforming it from a flat sheet to its flat-folded state, rather than keeping the rest of the paper flat and only changing the dihedral angles at each fold. For rigid origami (a type of folding that keeps the surface flat except at its folds, suitable ...
Scholars show how multiple planet movements tie into the 819-day Mayan calendar. The 819 days of the calendar must be viewed across a 45-year time period to fully understand.
Wet-folding allows the paper to be manipulated more easily, resulting in finished origami models that have a rounder and more sculpted look. Wet-folding is most often used with thicker paper; normal origami paper is very thin and thus prone to tearing when using the wet-folding technique. [2] Yoshizawa believed the process was the most ...
