Origami techniques

I have begun an origami tech tree, explaining how the folding techniques are related.Jasper 20:35 Mar 8, 2003 (UTC)

Due to lack of quality, the Origami tech tree page has been rewritten and expanded. If those of you who know a lot about origami could flesh out the needed links and add some pictures, that would be great. In addition, the page has been moved to Origami Techniques to maximize convenience. Ahudson Dec 2, 2005
I moved this to Origami techniques per Wikipedia:Naming conventions. Michael Slone (talk) 22:15, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

Haiku

I agree, that's a really long haiku -- surely something's wrong here? The Anome

No - it's a translation from the Japanese - I don't think it's too long at all. Remember Japanese is a calligraphic language with a heck of a lot of symbolism and embedded meanings in it. When you translate from one language to another it never keeps the same form because they're all so different. ~KJ

As an entire haiku, yes: I was questioning that something of that length could be only part of a haiku. Thanks for clarifying. Vicki Rosenzweig

Sadako Sasaki

The number about Sadako Sasaki is wrong. If you look at her specific page, you'll find she folded over 1,300 cranes, not ~600. 209.33.36.146 23:58, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

I second that the information on Sadako should be updated to reflect that she infact folded more than 1,000 cranes before dying; unlike the popular story of her dying before completing the goal. Her wiki entry, and the organization founded to honor her (www.sadako.org) after her death both support her having folded more than 1,000. Phresno 02:43, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Kami

The word kami is used several times in this article. By context, I assume it means origami paper, but this is never stated. Also the entry for Kami is a disambiguation, which does not mention origami. Perhaps someone who knows more than I could clarify this, and/or create an appropriate article. 12.65.0.28 18:31, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

The word kami in Japanese is generic for paper (as well as other meanings based on context), and should not be used to imply it is a term specific to origami. Phresno 02:43, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
