Some traditonnal models
What is called a traditional model?

There are two acceptions:
- either the typical japanese origamis, some of them being known for more of 200 years, suche as the crane or the iris (often calle the lily).
- or any fold which is known by everybody, but whose designer is unknown or forgotten. This latter category has a kind of fuzzy contents.

One thing is sure: it is not because a model is on intrenet that it becomes traditional! Even if you do not know the author of a model, it is possible that this model would be proteted by copyright.

This sequence is composed of six pages. It presents the mases of origami and three traditional models.

At the end, a fun quiz allows you to review your expertise in folding paper.
