Japanese Etiquette & Tradition, 3/22/10, Period 5
"Origami," Algren announced as the students took their places on the mats he'd laid out in the usual classroom.
You didn't need a Danger Shop for this. That would be silly. And so Algren had arranged the cushions on the floor in a semi-circle around a stack of square sheets of brightly colored paper set on a table in the middle of the room.
"The Japanese art of paper folding. In fact, that's what the name itself translates to. 'Ori' means folding, and 'kami' means paper." Forgive him for that. He's a linguist at heart and he has to translate things whenever the opportunity arises, or else he'll develop some sort of inferiority complex. "I'm not going to waste much of your precious paper folding time by lecturing about the origins of the art or the conventions of it, today. I'll just give you a handout with a selection of patterns, and let you go at it. If you need help with any of the folds, feel free to choose a partner, or to come speak to me."
