Origami, the art of paper folding, is believed to have originated in Japan around the 17th century, although its roots can be traced back to earlier practices in China after the invention of paper in the 2nd century. The earliest documented references to origami in Japan date back to the Edo period (1603-1868), where it began to evolve into a formalized art form. Over time, origami has developed into both a traditional craft and a modern mathematical pursuit.
