origami
Let an agent handle origami by technique, model, diagrams, history and applications, crediting designers and traditions.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent handle origami by technique, model, diagrams, history and applications, crediting designers and traditions.
The art of folding paper into shapes and figures, associated especially with Japan, including traditional models, modular origami such as kusudama, tessellations and related crafts like kirigami; its principles are also applied in engineering and science.
What it is for: Art, education, recreation and engineering design.
It can be find diagrams for models by difficulty; learn basic folds and bases; credit model designers; explore engineering applications.
