Paper folding is the art of folding paper; it is known in many societies that use paper. 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.

Forms of paper folding:

• Chinese paper folding, from China
• Origami, from Japan
• Papiroflexia, from Spain
• Paperfolding is also a part of the traditional culture of Korea.

Curiosity: It was formerly thought that it was impossible to fold a sheet of paper in half more than 7 times; usually it is difficult to reach even 6 times. This has been [debunked] by a high school student named Britney Gallivan.
