She folded colored paper into a paper crane.

And I want to tell you how we did that in origami.

Origami revolves around crease patterns.

Everything you'll see here, except the car, is origami.

It's become an art form, a form of sculpture.

Fold the paper in the middle.

It ties to origami. So let me start.

We take an idea, combine it with a square, and you get an origami figure.

And so they can do a simulation like this.

like this

We asked people to build some origami.

This is an origami figure one sheet, no cuts, folding only, hundreds of folds.

Let's see if someone else is doing this sort of thing.

How would you make a single flap?

What happened now?

So that's four simple laws. That's all you need in origami.

It's just basically two strands.

Fold the paper in four.

And it works perfectly on its test range, and it indeed folds up into a neat little bundle.

So, how do we test this idea?

Every Japanese kid

Well in an objective way, the origami now was uglier, it was more difficult.

(Laughter)

And we tried to measure how valuable they thought this origami was.

Those folds fold into a base. You shape the base.

If we abstract this process, and simplify it as much as possible, then we could start with a single sheet of paper, one surface, and we could make a fold and divide the surface into two surfaces.

It folds in thirds.

This man refused to fold to the conventions of normalcy and just decided to fold.

And where it has led in origami is to things like this.

I'm all thumbs when it comes to origami, or paper folding.

It's a very simple pattern you wouldn't even call that origami.

looking at disc packings and arrangements.

We gave people instructions on how to fold origami.

This tree frog has toes.

He writes to his mother every now and then.

Or, really, any other kind of deer.

I've always liked to draw, so I'm doing it more even though I'm really very bad at it.

The secret to productivity in so many fields and in origami is letting dead people do your work for you.

This is Mr. Crane. It sounded better than Origami.

So, we've prepared a video to show it applied to paper. KS

So how do we look at this question experimentally?

For some people, we made it harder by hiding the instructions.

It is admitted that the hotel is the best in this area.

Toes have become an origami meme, because everyone's doing it.

Technology is wonderful.
