had no idea that there was an International Day of Origami. Born as an initiative of the American Association Origami USA, in conjunction with the British Origami Society. In Japan there was already a day of Origami, November 11, the day the traditional crane was installed as the official symbol of peace. It was thought at that time for an international celebration, however, in the Anglo world on November 11 marks the Veteran's Day (the Origami is not without irony).
was chosen Oct. 24, the birthday of Lillian Oppenheimer (1898-1992), founder in 1958 of the first group of American Origami: FOCA (Friends of Origami Center of America ", which is then transformed into Origami USA), was made up, besides her, Isao Honda of Japan and Harbin Robert England, she later was a member founder of the British Origami Society in 1967.
In South America the earliest references we find to Dr. Vicente Solorzano Sagredo (founder of the Museum of origami in Argentina in 1954, closed in 1961), Ligia Montoya (Argentina) and Adolfo Cerceda (Argentina).

Due to his enthusiasm and vitality to the time to spread this art, Lillian Oppenheimer is considered the true "mother" of origami in the West, however, still seems to me that the choice of date is not sufficiently integrated in a global context. Seems reasonable November 11 (Veterans forgive me), it is also a date associated with the search for peace and art is ultimately an act of communication and understanding between people.
Origami USA's proposal and the BOS is to be held from today 24 to 11 November the International Day Origami. So, by joining it, I decided to present a new series of videos, to fold a beautiful horse Mijayima Noboru Japanese operator, whose diagram is in website. Hope you enjoy: D
