Origami, the traditional Japanese art of paper folding, transforms a simple sheet of paper into intricate and beautiful shapes. Originating in Japan over a thousand years ago, origami combines creativity, precision, and patience. The word “origami” itself is derived from the Japanese words “ori” (folding) and “kami” (paper).
This art form ranges from simple designs like paper cranes and boats, often taught to children, to highly complex models that can mimic animals, plants, and geometric shapes. Traditional origami usually involves a single sheet of square paper without cuts, glue, or markings, relying solely on folds to create the desired form.
Beyond its aesthetic appeal, origami also has educational and therapeutic benefits. It helps develop fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and spatial awareness. In recent years, origami has found applications in fields such as mathematics, engineering, and medicine, where its principles are used to solve complex problems and create innovative designs.
This edition is dedicated to all origami artists and to this unique kind of art expression, which they are devoted. There are five 22 bottle sets, and each is adorned with a different origami: Swan, Elephant, Hummingbird, Crane and Boat.
