Art of origami: folding a dollar or two
What can a person do with a dollar or two nowadays? Won Park, a master of Origami, also called the money folder, has a few ideas. Origami is the traditional Japanese art of paper folding – creating a 3-D representation of an object by making various geometric folds and crease patterns with a single sheet of paper without cutting or gluing the paper.
The origin of origami is unclear. There is general belief that most of the modern developments in origami occurred in Japan; however, there have also been independent paper-folding traditions in China much earlier and in Germany and Spain, among other places. It is unclear whether these traditions evolved separately or had a common source.
