Kirigami is the art of paper cutting that originates from Japan. It is similar to origami, however, unlike origami, where only folding of paper is used without cutting or gluing, in kirigami the paper can be cut.
Kirigami can be very simple, for example, when making a cut-out snowflake, or complex, where cutting and folding are used to create more detailed and intricate designs or three-dimensional objects.
In recent years, this art has gained popularity beyond Japan due to its use in design, science, and engineering. For example, kirigami can be applied to create flexible structures that can unfold or fold into specific shapes, which finds applications in fields such as materials science, medicine, and space technology.
