Different Origami Categories (Definitions)

In case you were wondering what are the different KINDS of origami, I’ve put this together if you’re curious.

What is Origami?

Origami is an ancient art of paper folding that has evolved into different styles and techniques over time. From simple animal shapes to complex modular designs, origami has something for everyone, including beginners and experts. Let’s explore some of the categories of origami and their unique features.

Traditional Origami

Traditional origami is the classic style of paper folding that originated in Japan. It involves using a single sheet of paper without cutting or gluing. You can make animals, flowers, and other natural elements with clean, precise folds. It’s a great way to start with origami!

Modular Origami

Modular origami is a style that uses multiple sheets of paper folded into individual units, which are then assembled to create a larger structure. This allows for more complex designs and even 3D objects. It’s challenging, but very satisfying!

Kirigami

Kirigami is a combination of origami and paper cutting. It involves both folding and cutting paper to create intricate designs such as pop-up cards, decorations, and sculptures.

Wet-folding

Wet-folding is a technique that involves dampening the paper before folding, creating more sculptural and organic shapes. It’s great for creating complex animal and insect designs and achieving curves and bends that are difficult to achieve with dry folding.

Tessellation Origami

Tessellation origami involves creating repeating patterns of folded shapes. It’s often used to create intricate designs with repeating shapes such as flowers or geometric patterns. It’s a challenging technique, but the results are stunning and can be used for decorations and even art pieces.
