Paper crafts are known in most societies that use paper, with certain
kinds of crafts being particularly associated with specific countries
or cultures. In much of the West, the term origami is used synonymously
with paper folding, though the term properly only refers to the art of
paper folding in Japan.
Other forms of paper folding include Zhezhi (Chinese paper folding),
Jong-ie-jeop-gi, from Korea, and Western paper folding, such as the
traditional paper boats and paper planes.
In addition to the aesthetic value of paper crafts, various forms of paper crafts are used in the education
of children. Paper is a relatively inexpensive medium, readily
available, and easier to work with than the more complicated media
typically used in the creation of three-dimensional artwork, such as
ceramics, wood, and metals.
It is also neater to work with than paints, dyes, and other coloring
materials. Paper crafts may also be used in therapeutic settings,
providing children with a safe and uncomplicated creative outlet to
express feelings.
The word "paper" derives from papyrus, the name of the ancient material
manufactured from beaten reeds in Egypt as far back as the third
millennium B.C.
Indeed, the earliest known example of "paper folding" is an ancient
Egyptian map, drawn on papyrus and folded into rectangular forms like a
modern road map.
However, it does not appear that intricate paper folding as an art form
became possible until the introduction of wood-pulp based papers in
China, where its invention is credited to Cai Lun in the Eastern Han Dynasty,
in the 2nd century B.C. It is not known when the earliest use of folded
paper as a medium was made, although it likely began shortly after the
development of paper itself. The first Japanese origami is dated from the 6th century A.D.
