The first Japanese origami is dated from the 6th century A.D.[6] In much of the West, the term origami is used synonymously with paper folding, though the term properly only refers to the art of paper folding in Japan.[5] Other forms of paper folding include Zhezhi (Chinese paper folding), Jong-i.e.-jeop-gi, from Korea, and Western paper folding, such as the traditional paper boats and paper planes.
