Immersed in the captivating culture of Japan for over five years, I’ve developed a profound appreciation for its arts, including the delicate practice of origami. Although I consider myself a beginner, my fascination with origami has grown immensely.

Designer Traditional/Unknow

Traditional origami refers to classic models that are timeless, widely known, and/or have no known creator. Usually passed down through generations, they belong to everyone and form the foundation of modern origami.
