[Foreverlovinganimals]

for a fact,paper is found in China and japan created origami

[Shadowoffire123]

Thanks for this, helped me out when I got stuck. =P

[castword]

Dont write origami!! I'm so sick of people writing origami on videos that clearly aren't origami!

[castword]

Origami doesn't require cutting, gluing or using taspe, so that isn't origami, just some lame ass fake video

[insanelysa]

there's no cutting...

the glue isn't necessary, in fact i'm making one right now and not using glue at all...

and there's no tape...

but i guess you're right since they use it.

[blackreazor]

well, it can be considered origami, unit origami, just because you ned to use other materials it doesn't mean that is not origami

[castword]

using glue and tape is materials that are mostly forbidden in origami, cutting to

[TheEirica]

you could think of it as the whole not really being origami origami, but if u look at each piece, each little piece would be considered irgami. It's like sticking a bunch of paper cranes together to make something with glue, that wont really be satisfactory as origami, but each individual crane piece would be origami. :D

[stuchly1]

i agree with you but i know one beautyful kusudama where you need only 24 squares of paper (more or less 9x9 cm is ok) and you need nothing else. the segments are joined together with curls so it looks like it is done vrom tiny roses :) so it is also very decorative. :)

[blackreazor]

well, it realy is not a rule, origai means paper folding, an does not have rules.

[castword]

origai is nothing, origami means paper folding and does not require any cutting, gluing or using tape. Wikipedia does'nt lie.

[blackreazor]

is there a rule?????

no, how long have been folding??

three?

four?

how many years?

when you have long enogh you'll discober the infinity of creations that tou can do jus by one cut in a diagram, even great origamist have use other materials besides paper, and those materials are just to make an art composition, almost like a collage, or misxing media to creat beutiful esculptures.

[castword]

it is scuptures yes, but not origami. It's not proper origami if she does it that way, and that is what makes me so mad, that people write it, but don't know anything about it

[blackreazor]

the thing is that, there is not a written or obligatory rule that states that origami must not une glue, cutting or any other. origami just means paper folding, and those units are folden.

[castword]

the units are folded properly yes, but the point is that the connection between the units is suppose to hold with locks and pressure, and she doesn't do that, she uses a needle and a thread

[blackreazor]

that's because that's how is set together, even the japanese do that, it's call kusudama.

the only ones that do that are the ones creaed by tomoko fuse, all the other tradiotional models need thread, the glue is not necesary , but need and thead is necesary

[castword]

I don't care how you put it together, or what it is, just don't call it origami if you put it together that way.

[blackreazor]

just because you said so,you don't even have that long doing origami, and now you can decide wheter or not you can use something else!!!

you firsst hae to discover and feel what origami is really about,not only pretend that you know how it is suposed to be done.

[fuyumimitsumi]

dude before you can say its origami or not perhaps you should study the history of it before hand. don't just say its not because they use string, what do you think we use when we make a thousand paper cranes? i don't think that folding it a certain way would stop it from flying away in the wind, think first and find out the facts, don't spout nonsense your not an origami master so be quiet, simply folding a paper 4 or 5 ways can be called origami

[Radjehuty]

That's entirely acceptable. However, you should give this great respect because it is by far one of the oldest forms of origami and is a direct ancestor to what is now called "modular origami".  Even though it's stringed together, it gave artists the idea that modules of origami can be assembled together to create larger structures.

[castword]

Well. Modular origami is when you connect bits of paper without materials, and only use the pressure of the paper or lock it together. It doesn't include stringing it together. It's ok to do that, but to call it origami just makes people think that you have done something else with it besides plain folding

[Radjehuty]

Yes correct, but modular origami may never have existed if someone hadn't have thought to string together multiple origami units together to make a larger structure. Origami simply means "to fold paper" which is quite vague. Since this kusudama is made up of origami units it is technically plausible to call it modular. But yes I know its strung together. But since it's hundreds of years old, I think we can let it slide haha

[castword]

right. It's really really old. Thats why we should lock it together using only paper. We shouldn't upgrade it using strings:)

[stuchly1]

origami isn't nothing you fu**ed ass!

origami really means paper folding but it is an ancient art from Japan! (9th century after Christ!)

[castword]

paperfolding without, cutting gluing or other items. so watch ur language

[fuyumimitsumi]

yes it does. All you need is an account, to be able to change the detail... say like putting in false information. the origami sister cranes requires one small cut.

[TheEirica]

yes it does, people could edit the stuff and putt stupid stuff in -_-` u didn know?
