The Japanese origin began in the 6th century when Buddhist monks from China carried paper to Japan. The first Japanese origami is dated from this period[1]. The Japanese word "origami" itself is a compound of two smaller Japanese words: "ori", meaning fold, and "gami", meaning paper. Until recently, all forms of paper folding were grouped under the word origami, namely "tsutsumi", a kind of wrapper used for formal occasions. Before that, paperfolding for play was known by a variety of names, including "orikata", "orisue", "orimono", "tatamigami" and others. Exactly why "origami" became the common name is not known; it has been suggested that the word was adopted in the kindergartens because the written characters were easier for young children to write. Another theory is that the word "origami" was a direct translation of the German word "Papierfalten", brought into Japan with the Kindergarten Movement around 1880.The Japanese origin began in the 6th century when Buddhist monks from China carried paper to Japan.

It's most likely Chinese Calligraphy, not Japanese. They would use it because Feng Shui comes from China.
Well the ink comes out of the pen and that goes on the paper and if you are not an idiot you can write words.
Paper is considered organic because it is made from natural materials such as wood pulp, which comes from trees. Trees are living organisms that grow through natural processes, so when their pulp is turned into paper, it retains its organic nature.

Printers put ink on paper, forming words, pictures, and other things. The printed material generally comes from a computer.
The quickest thing that comes to mind is "feather love" , " wing gap" Most Japanese words, especially compound words are impossible to precisely define without specifying what kanji they are written with, as ay different written words could sound just the same thing.
