Contents Origami It is believed that origami was first introduced to Japanese society soon after the invention of paper. Initially, it was considered an elite skill to be mastered by Japanese nobles. Origami soon spread, however, becoming a traditional cultural practice and popular art form throughout society. Heian nobles (Japanese lords and ladies) folded luxuriously rendered paper called washi paper to wrap gifts. The paper was hand-stenciled or printed with bright, colorful Japanese floral images.
