When it comes to introducing origami outside my workshops and classes in a non-formal situation, or when I want to fold a quick origami gift in a cafe for friends, I usually choose from quite a short list of models which they are mostly traditional models. Although there are couple of other non-traditionl, yet pretty simple models, that I can fold from my memory, I often find myself choosing from traditional ones.
This has raised some question for me regarding the traditional origami... Why these models survived all these years? Why do you think traditional origami kept spreading and transcending through hundreds of years despite the diagramming system not being around until the mid 20th century? Do you think that there is any sort of *inner remarkability* and *elegance* to these models? Do you see the possibility of other models that couldn't survive due to not being very interesting? in general, How do you *Feel *about traditionl origami? I am very interested to hear your thoughts about it... Thank you Ali Bahmani Check me on instagram: www.instagram.com/alibhmni
