Origami comes from Japan and the word Ori means folding, while we mean paper.
This paper folding game was first introduced in Indonesia during the Japanese colonial period.
Previously, the art of paper folding has been known in China since around 105 AD.
Initially, origami was only carried out by the aristocracy and was considered an exclusive entertainment.
However, then origami became popular among the general public and became an activity that was very popular with children.
In the 1950s, origami began to be taught in schools as one form of art and handicrafts.
Indonesia also has the art of folding traditional paper called Oye or Ong-ooye.
Oye is the art of folding a unique paper because it involves a very complicated fold technique, including three -dimensional folds.
Oye is widely used in traditional ceremonies, such as marriage and circumcision.
At present, Origami is becoming increasingly popular in Indonesia, with many origami communities formed and the many origami events held in various cities.
