Japanese Origami

Learning the millenary art of Japanese Origami...

Hi there everybody and welcome to my post on Japanese Origami.

I've selected here a number of YouTube videos teaching you some paper folding techniques. As there were so many videos to choose from, I've decided to concentrate here on animal figures.

If Origami is your thing, or you'd like to try your hands on it, I am sure you will have countless hours of fun.

Also, don't forget to check out the sites I am recommending where you can expand your knowledge about this beautiful art.

Have or know of an interesting video teaching Japanese Origami? Please let me know.

If you are interested in other aspects of Japanese culture, please visit my posts on Japanese Words and Japanese Symbols.

Enjoy!
