1. Introduction - What is the appeal of origami?
You can play with just one piece of paper
Origami can be enjoyed in a variety of ways, simply by folding the paper without cutting it. Make and fly a paper airplane. Make paper balloons, paper cranes, helmets, dogs, cats, etc. Because it can be enjoyed simply by folding, many people, from small children to the elderly, can enjoy origami.
Train your brain
Since you need to think about how to fold the origami as you go, it helps improve your concentration, comprehension, and creativity.
Moving your fingertips strengthens the "frontal lobe," and understanding the shapes and balance of origami leads to the activation of the "temporal lobe."
For these reasons, it is hoped that this will not only contribute to children's intellectual development, but also to preventing aging in the elderly.
Communication Tools
Origami, which was once a uniquely Japanese culture, has now spread throughout the world.
Simply folding paper can help train your brain and improve your manual dexterity, so it can of course be used to stimulate your mind, but it can also be used as a communication tool.
If you have small children or elderly people around you, why not try playing with origami together? It will surely spark conversation and deepen your bond.
In addition, with the recent increase in foreign tourists, many foreigners are interested in Japanese culture. Origami is interesting to foreigners, so it can be used as a communication tool to start a conversation.
