Family-friendly Origami at Seattle Japanese Garden

For Family Saturday in April, Seattle-based origami group, P.A.P.E.R., will show you origami techniques. The roots of Ori (折り, folding) Gami (紙=kami, paper) originates in the 6th century in Japan. Use of paper was limited only to formal ceremonies and rituals and was not commonly available for recreational paper folding until the 17th century. Today, origami is enjoyed around the world and continues to evolve its art form. Papers and instructions will be available for all visitors in the community room from 11pm – 1pm while supplies last. FREE admission to all youth 12 and younger from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. for Family Saturday. More info: Family Saturday April: Origami in the Garden — Seattle Japanese Garden
