The Origami Art

Recently, this topic has rooted itself,deeply, inside me. The fascination stemmed from my,let's say,addiction of Prison Break.The Origami art is the art of making sculptors out of solely square papers. It was founded in China in 100AD. The Japanese then adopted the art,nurtured it, and made it into a culture.

When origami was first brought to Japan, only the rich practiced the art of folding paper into shapes. The shape creation was a way of adding special meaning to what the paper held on it or in it.

For love notes, origami was doubly special. First, the origami shape itself could represent a message. The selection of color and shape help conveyed the true emotions of the writer. Second, origami is an intricate art. If the love note was intercepted, it would be unlikely that the reader could perfectly refold the shape. So the origami love note was very secure - it could not be read by the wrong person without the recipient knowing it.

The origami crane has a special meaning attached to it.It means, honor and loyalty.It is also used to denote "Familial Obligation". It beholds the primitive emotion that man has for family.
