===Ceremonial origami (origata)=== By the 7th century, paper had been introduced to Japan from China via the Korean Peninsula, and the Japanese developed ''[[washi]]'' by improving the method of making paper in the [[Heian period]]. The papermaking technique developed in Japan around 805 to 809 was called ''nagashi-suki (流し漉き)'', a method of adding [[mucilage]] to the process of the conventional ''tame-suki (溜め漉き)'' technique to form a stronger layer of paper fibers.<ref name="kyushu1">{{cite web|url=https://guides.lib.kyushu-u.ac.jp/origami/prologue|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210507223620/https://guides.lib.kyushu-u.ac.jp/origami/prologue|script-title=ja:折り紙の歴史と現在: 前史|language=ja|publisher=[[Kyushu University]] Library|archive-date=7 May 2021|access-date=14 November 2022}}</ref><ref name="nippon1">{{cite web|url=https://www.origami-noa.jp/%E3%81%8A%E3%82%8A%E3%81%8C%E3%81%BF%E3%81%AB%E3%81%A4%E3%81%84%E3%81%A6/%E3%81%8A%E3%82%8A%E3%81%8C%E3%81%BF%E3%81%AE%E6%AD%B4%E5%8F%B2/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221114074031/https://www.origami-noa.jp/%E3%81%8A%E3%82%8A%E3%81%8C%E3%81%BF%E3%81%AB%E3%81%A4%E3%81%84%E3%81%A6/%E3%81%8A%E3%82%8A%E3%81%8C%E3%81%BF%E3%81%AE%E6%AD%B4%E5%8F%B2/|script-title=ja:おりがみの歴史 (History of origami)|language=ja|publisher=Nippon Origami Association|date=|archive-date=14 November 2022|access-date=14 November 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://pub.nikkan.co.jp/uploads/book/pdf_file5c91891586da8.pdf|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221125225800/https://pub.nikkan.co.jp/uploads/book/pdf_file5c91891586da8.pdf|script-title=ja:第1章 折り紙の姿|language=ja|publisher=[[Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun]]|archive-date=25 November 2022|access-date=25 November 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://kotobank.jp/word/%E6%B5%81%E3%81%97%E6%BC%89%E3%81%8D-587757|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221125225744/https://kotobank.jp/word/%E6%B5%81%E3%81%97%E6%BC%89%E3%81%8D-587757|script-title=ja:流し漉き|language=ja|publisher=Kotobank./Digitalio, Inc./[[The Asahi Shimbun]]|archive-date=25 November 2022|access-date=25 November 2022}}</ref> With the development of Japanese papermaking technology and the widespread use of paper, folded paper began to be used for decorations and tools for religious ceremonies such as ''[[gohei]]'', ''ōnusa'' ([[:ja:大麻 (神道)]]) and ''[[Shide (Shinto)|shide]]'' at [[Shinto shrines]]. Religious decorations made of paper and the way gifts were wrapped in folded paper gradually became stylized and established as ceremonial origami.<ref name="kyushu1"/><ref name="nippon1"/> During the Heian period, the Imperial court established a code of etiquette for wrapping money and goods used in ceremonies with folded paper, and a code of etiquette for wrapping gifts.<ref name="nikkei310317">{{cite web|url=https://style.nikkei.com/article/DGXMZO14548060X20C17A3000000/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221115071147/https://style.nikkei.com/article/DGXMZO14548060X20C17A3000000/|script-title=ja:喜びの気持ちを自分で包む・結ぶ「折形」の実践入門|language=ja|publisher=[[Nikkei, Inc.]]|date=31 March 2017|archive-date=15 November 2022|access-date=15 November 2022}}</ref> [[File:Yamaneorigata.jpg|thumb|A modern ceremonial origami (origata) that follows the ceremonial origami of the upper samurai class of the Muromachi period]] In the [[Muromachi period]] from the 1300s to the 1400s, various forms of decorum were developed by the [[Ogasawara clan]] and Ise clans ([[:ja:伊勢氏]]), completing the prototype of Japanese folded-paper decorum that continues to this day. The Ise clan presided over the decorum of the inside of the palace of the [[Ashikaga Shogunate]], and in particular, Ise Sadachika ([[:ja:伊勢貞親]]) during the reign of the eighth Shogun, [[Ashikaga Yoshimasa]] (足利義政), greatly influenced the development of the decorum of the [[daimyo]] and [[samurai]] classes, leading to the development of various stylized forms of ceremonial origami. The shapes of ceremonial origami created in this period were geometric, and the shapes of ''[[noshi]]'' to be attached to gifts at feasts and weddings, and origami that imitated butterflies to be displayed on [[sake]] vessels, were quite different from those of later generations of recreational origami whose shapes captured the characteristics of real objects and living things. The "noshi" wrapping, and the folding of female and male butterflies, which are still used for weddings and celebrations, are a continuation and development of a tradition that began in the Muromachi period.<ref name="kyushu1"/><ref name="nippon1"/><ref>{{cite web|url=https://kotobank.jp/word/%E8%9D%B6%E8%8A%B1%E5%BD%A2-568982|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221114170313/https://kotobank.jp/word/%E8%9D%B6%E8%8A%B1%E5%BD%A2-568982|script-title=ja:蝶花形|language=ja|publisher=Kotobank./Digitalio, Inc./[[The Asahi Shimbun]]|archive-date=14 November 2022|access-date=14 November 2022}}</ref> A reference in a poem by [[Ihara Saikaku]] from 1680 describes the origami butterflies used during [[Shinto|Shinto weddings]] to represent the bride and groom.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://origami.ousaan.com/library/historye.html |title=History of Origami |author=Hatori Koshiro|work=K's Origami|access-date=1 January 2010}}</ref>
