Origami the Traditional Japanese Craft




In our Japanese club we learned a new creation the Chinese invented and the Japanese perfected which is called Origami. Origami is a traditional Japanese craft and it is used to create 3 dimensional figures out of paper. We did origami in Japanese club and it was not hard to learn. We learned to make new creations out of paper; we made foldable cups, Swans, and Happi Coats.
