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.

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

[TheEirica]

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

[castword]

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

[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]

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]

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.

[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.
