Origami and kirigami from Japan
This week, we've been experimenting with paper folding and cutting. We've made use of two traditional Japanese tecniques: origami and kirigami to create an Easter Bunny and a shamrock for the celebration of Saint Patrick's day in Ireland some days ago.
Esta semana estivemos experimentando co dobrado e cortado de papel. Fixemos uso de dúas técnicas tradicionais xaponesas para facer un coelliño de Pascua e un trébol co gallo da celebración do día de San Patricio en Irlanda hai uns días.
Origami is the Japanese art of paper folding. The word Origami originates from the Japanese words ori for folding and kami for paper. The technique is based on a square piece of paper that is folded into a sculpture. Origami traditionally does not use scissors to cut the paper or any glue.
O origami é a arte xaponesa de dobrar papel. A palabra Origami procede das palabras xaponesas ori (dobrar) e kami (papel) . A técnica baséase nunha peza cadrada de papel que se dobra para formar unha escultura. No Origami tradicionalmente non se usa tesoira para cortar o papel ou pegamento.
Kirigami is a variation of origami that includes cutting of the paper (from Japanese "kiru" = to cut) rather than solely folding the paper as is the case with origami.
O kirigami é unha variación do origami que inclúe o cortado de papel (do xaponés "kiru"=cortar, e "kami"=papel), en lugar de só dobrar o papel coma no origami.
