Due to the high cost of these papers, they were used only for religious purposes. The history of origami came after the invention of paper or to say that this paper was the result of the use of paper in society. The Japanese word origami is a combination of two short Japanese words. Ori (Oru), meaning "Fold", and Kami, meaning "Paper". some time ago whatever things were made by folding paper. It was not counted in origami. Origami is a specialty of art, which distinguishes it from all arts.

Because of this it holds the most distinguished position.
