Origami is an art is practiced by several people around the world, but isn't everyone who is able to conceive a original origami. Origamis, though an age-old art, passed down from generation to generation, there weren't people willing to create new origamis. To be invented a new one, sometimes it was required several days or weeks; it's a time-consuming process to you get the instructions to your hands. By myself, I currently have 5 totally original origami, and it took me several days to reach the final result, and I know the difficulties it is for that. And nowadays, there are artists who have created such complex models, it seems impossible to even imagine how they thought of this idea, and with this, they have achieved worldwide acclaim and recognition in this branch of art. There are also artists who have created a way to facilitate the understanding and dissemination of this art, and there are still those who have made use of this art for the sake of humanity in general.
