Best Answer

Japanese origami began in the 6th century when Buddhist monks from China carried paper to Japan. The first Japanese origami is dated from this period, and was used for religious ceremonial purposes only, due to the high price of paper. By the 1700s, origami had become more widespread, and in 1797 the first known origami book was published in Japan.
