Kirigami is a paperart or papercraft originates from Japan that is quite similar to origami, except that you are allowed to make small cuts into it in order of getting the shape that you wanted. That is the simple reason as to why it is called ‘kirigami‘, literally means cutting paper (kiri means cutting, and kami or gami means paper). It is similar to origami because it may also involve a lot of folding in developing the required patterns.
