Overview

“kiri” means trimming and “origami” means folding paper in Japanese. Since roughly 2005 “kiriorigami” has been used as a name for creating works by trimming and folding paper. Kiriorigami is a style of paper art, oten called by other names (3D papercutting, 3D Kirie, origamic architecture, paper sculpture, paper cut sculpture, etc). Trimming techniques make it easier to model than origami, and Folding techniques greatly reduces the labor of using an adhesive. This feature makes it easy for beginners to model and gives time to create delicate models for skilled people

Types of kiriorigami

Kiriorigami is classified into several types according to its style.

Basic kiriorigami This form of basic kiriorigami is created by trimming and folding a single sheet of paper without using adhesive. An exception is when the adhesive is used for the purpose of exhibiting and storing the work. Some people claim that only this style should be considered kiriorigami. (Photograph 1).

Applied kiriorigami This approach relaxes the rules of basic kiriorigami to allow some gluing, coloring, paper varnish, the use of multiple sheets of paper, etc. It also includes works which could be considered hybrid types, utilizing Kirie paper cutting techniques (Photographs 2 and 3). This type also includes works that are considered to be hybrid types using the Kyrie (Japanese paper cutting) method (Photos 2 and 3).

Artistic kiriorigami All techniques are used for expression, and kiriorigami technique is one of them. The basic kiriorigami technique developed for a single sheet of paper can greatly shorten the work process, enabling highly complex and delicate works than traditional paper craft. (Photograph 4).

Pill bug, applied kiriorigami type work that is glued with plastic eyeballs and painted with a spray.
Humming bird by Hasse Kamiya. Applied kiriorigami work was made of 2 sheets of paper using Kirie(Japanese paper cut) technique with adhesive.
Mandragora by Masaki Odaka, this artistic kiriorigami type work that was made of multiple sheets of paper(card board) and much gluing.

Basic techniques

Kiriorigami is created by combining various folds(mountain fold, valley fold, reverse fold, inside reverse fold, etc.,) on trimmed paper. There is regularity in the combination of folding lines, and it is possible to create a unique and original work by learning this regular pattern.Some important techniques are introduced.

Accordion folds This technique is intuitive and easy to understand, and is frequently used in works like insects, crustaceans, dragons． (Photograph 5).

Crimp folds This is a simple technique that is applicable to a wide range of pieces, from small animals to dragons (Photograph 6). Upward folds and downward fold Variations of crimp fold. (photograph 55)

Curved folds This folding technique creates curved folds to create beautiful shapes which are not possible with straight line folds (Photograph 7).

Sign board style This technique consists of cutting out a shape seen from one side and having it stand up like a sandwich board. It is also known as single-side focus. It is simple but can be used to create dramatic works.

Tools and materials

Paper The good paper for biginner is paper that is easy to fold, that is resistant to wrinkling, and that keeps its folds. Mermaid paper and Mi-Teintes paper are often good. A large range of paper types can be used, from copier paper to calendar paper. Japanese washi paper is soft and the folds are easy to relax, so when using it, special care should be taken, such as coating varnish. Some artists use gold spray paint or other spray coatings to create special papers. There are also works made from leather, thin sheet metal (copper plates, brass plates, etc.), tree leaves, and other materials instead of paper. Almost any paper-like material can be used.

Scissors The type of scissors used by kiriorigami artist is very different and there is no clear feature. It is important that the scissors are sharp, but it is more important to fit your hand.

knife, rulers, pens, paper varnish, adhesive, and other tools and materials These are important for making more advanced works. Paper varnish and adhesive are also important outside the actual creation of works, for transport, display, and storage purposes. Other materials and tools should be actively used if they contribute to greater expressivity.

Mathematics and kiriorigami

Projections of kiriorigami made from single pieces of paper are composed of combinations of folds (known as “frames”) and surfaces made from folds (known as walls). All of these must fit on a single piece of paper. The aforementioned accordion folds, crimp folds, and the like are frames. Even when using identical frames, changing the shapes of walls produces different works. Mathematics and kiriorigami The basic kiriorigami development made from a sheet of paper consists of a combination of folds (referred to as “frame”) and a planes starting from the folds(referred to as “wall”). The accordion folds and crimp folds mentioned above are names of type of frames. Even if you use the same type frame, changing the shape of the wall as you like creates a different original piece.
