The kirigami history stretches back to Japan’s Heian period, from the 8th to the 12th century, marking the beginnings of this revered art form. In those times, paper was more than just a medium for art; it was a precious and rare resource, often utilized in religious ceremonies. Seen as a sacred bridge between the physical and spiritual realms, paper’s use in kirigami during this era highlights the deep-rooted spiritual connections and cultural values embedded in the art form. Kirigami’s evolution from these ancient practices to its current global appreciation is a testament to its enduring beauty and significance.

Today, kirigami history continues to unfold worldwide, embraced by varied cultures and inspiring artists beyond its Japanese origins. Modern kirigami ranges from traditional designs to novel creations like intricate geometric figures and playful depictions of nature. This art form’s enduring appeal lies in its versatility and the creative bridge it forms between past and present, celebrating a global community of artists and enthusiasts
