Though square is sort of the standard shape for origami, the art of paper folding can use any paper shape. However, square is the easiest shape for origami because there is only one square shape. If you were to design an object using a rectangular piece of paper, you would have to spend time measuring how long it is by how wide it is, since a rectangle can be almost any width by any length. Using square paper, it makes it easier to instruct someone else how to do it.
But, with origami, any paper shape can be used.
Squares are easier to fold, but all origami are not squares. Some are rectangles, and even circles. The person that created this, probably thought squares were better too.
