History of origami

Folding the various figures out of paper began in Japan in the beginning of the VIII century. With the Japanese word "origami" is translated as "folded paper". In that distant time the paper was very expensive and use it only for churches and monasteries. The monks were produced from it "Sanbo" boxes, which are placed in sacrifice to the gods.

The real art of origami began with the manufacture of cranes. In 1797 the abbot of the monastery Rokan published the book "How to fold a thousand cranes", which contained a description of the gradual folding paper 49 species of cranes. The great merit in the development of this art form in the XX century belongs to Akira Yoshizawa:

If a child does something under the scheme, it is necessary to know some of the characters. In the methodological literature on working with origami are symbols for drawings schemes.

paper ship

Make a boat can be a variety of ways in stages. For the first time it can be made of album sheet or colored paper from a set of labor.

Step 2. Then you need from the intended line to make a triangle, symmetrically folded both ends.

Step 3. The ends of which are formed, it is necessary to bend and carefully ironed, using a ruler.

Step 4. The resulting bend angles on either side.

Step 5. You can then reveal the resulting pattern.

Step 6. He converted here in this square.

Step 7. Now we have to bend the bottom corner.

Step 8. Bend it to the base of the triangle and iron.

Step 9. Do the same on the other side.

Step 10. You can now begin to reveal crafts.

Step 11. Next you need to gently pull the two ends.
