Welcome to Origami Mitra !

Paper. A non-entity. Enter origami. Paper takes form.

That, in simple words, is the gist of the scope of origami. An art that gives life to paper and imagination, origami is a venerated thought. A child-like pleasure and yet not childish. Origami has become most popular and has made the most progress in the last half century. Believed to have its roots in ancient Japanese culture, Origami is much more widespread today.

Besides the obvious benefit of satisfying the creative urge, Origami has many other uses as well. It not only enhances concentration and creativity, folding paper can also help you acquire subtle skills like patience and spatial visualisation. Mathematicians have proved the greatest theorems using origami and its artistes have sculpted the closest likenesses from nature. Practising Origami enhances motor skills and has a soothing effect on the mind. For this reason, it has acquired relevance in places like special schools, hospitals, and even prisons!

So flexible…so simple…so humble. We are proud to be origamists. And to capture the spirit of origami in one line, we would just say: "Look, what two hands and paper can do!"
