===Kirigami===
{{Main|Kirigami}}

Kirigami is a Japanese term for paper cutting. Cutting was often used in traditional Japanese origami, but modern innovations in technique have made the use of cuts unnecessary. Most origami designers no longer consider models with cuts to be origami, instead using the term Kirigami to describe them. This change in attitude occurred during the 1960s and 70s, so early origami books often use cuts, but for the most part they have disappeared from the modern origami repertoire, and most modern books do not even mention cutting.<ref>{{cite book |title=Origami Design Secrets |last=Lang |first=Robert J. |year=2003 |publisher=A K Peters |isbn=1-56881-194-2}}</ref>
