Originally, origami is from China. Origami is known as the Japanese art of folding paper into objects without using glue. The most common object that can be folded using origami art is the crane. The material you need for origami is paper, but not just paper - fingers and folding bone or nails to help to crease the paper. The paper can be big or small, depending on how challenging you want it to be as the smaller the paper, the more challenging it becomes to do origami. There are people who try to do origami using the smallest piece of paper just to challenge their skills.
A more advanced origami involves moving origami. It simply means the object you have folded has motion, and is not just static. It is a new challenge and not many people can master it. The latest art of origami involving paper money is called moneygami. Moneygami is when you use paper currency and fold it into an object, using the origami art. Origami has been part of the Japanese culture since the monks from China brought some paper to Japan. Since then, origami has been expanding world wide with many people doing origami as their hobby.
