Origami is one of the traditional plays and craftworks in Japan.

It's an art of paper folding. Many kinds of paper crafts (animals,flowers,vechelcles etc...) are made of only single square piece of paper. Japanese would be familiar with this traditional one because we often learned it in childhood. Nowadays foreign travelers for Japan are interested in it for souvenir.
