Paper boat from simple paper

People of my age at nearly 74 may remember our boyhood years when we used to make boats etc. using ordinary paper. In Japan, this kind of creating 3 D objects using paper is known as Origamy.

This evening NHK  WORLD JAPAN TV Channel telecast an interesting documentary on origamy. It is sad that our school curriculum does not included creative aspects like origamy which children would enjoy.
