Talk:Orizuru

Confusing statement?
I found this statement confusing and was wondering if it could be improved.

"(Unlike Western origami purists, traditional Japanese origami often uses paper cuts to add detail such as ears.)"

It might also need a reference. Thanks, --Bananasoldier (talk) 16:02, 14 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Well it is more purist, Modern Origami -Dr. James Minoru Sakoda - 2012 - Page 7 "I have maintained the restriction of folding from a square piece of paper without cutting or pasting, and have developed a style in the ... One reason for not cutting— which is frequently used to achieve realistic details such as ears, legs, etc." but yes the Western/traditional comment could do with a source.

Paper cranes are also part of Chinese culture
Sorry for not having academic sources on this, but crane in Chinese mythology can be a jumping-off point. I am not sure if the practice of making paper cranes in modern times originated from Japanese origami or something indigenous, but perhaps portraying them as an exclusively Japanese thing is misleading. 70.15.123.13 (talk) 16:23, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
