The ancient craft of origami is a subtle and delicate folk art, involving folding and shaping sheets of light vellum into esoteric shapes, using a few simple folds and techniques combined in sequence to create objects of surprising complexity, and imbued with capabilities that seem, to the untrained eye, to be beyond their humble origins. The surest mark of the subtle complexity of origami is the fact that the simpler the design appears, the more complex it actually is to make.
The simplest origami is the action origami, so called because the folded paper can be made to move in simple ways. For instance, a folded paper crane might flap its wings when its tail is tugged on. More cunningly, when magic ink is also applied, a bookbinder can scribe a message into the origami which the crane will appear to recite when it is opened. (One dose of ink will inscribe up to ten characters.) The origami can also be folded around a small keepsake. You may mail this origami at any post office, though only when it is closed.
Note that origami can be folded by a skilled bookbinder in any location, since there is no need for a press for the act of folding vellum into origami.
