The word 折り紙 (おりがみ origami, lit. folding paper) is Japanese in origin, but the art/craft of paper folding existed in many societies, not just Chinese or Japanese, though their original forms may be different since paper may not be the only material used (can be cloth, papyrus, leaves etc).
Some Chinese customs involved the folding of paper money, which are burnt as offerings to the deceased.
