If you have time to spare
 
‘Since | have retired, | have now enough time to enjoy origami at last.’ | oftenreceive such letters. In reply, | say, ‘That's fine. | hope you make a good start.’ ‘Since| have to prepare for an entrance examination, | have no time to enjoy origami.’Sometimes | receive such letters. In reply, | say, ‘It is a great asset that you haveonce been immersed in origami in your childhood. Sometime In your future life, thetime will surely come when you can revive your origami.’ My replies may sound likea counselor's advice, but | really meant what | said.
Most children love origami. They are absorbed in folding paper. They joyfullysay, ‘I've made it’ and show the work to everyone around them. The word impliesthat they have made the work by their own hands and, at the same time, it showsa wonder that such an interesting thing has been produced. Among hobbies,there are few that both adults and children can enjoy with wonder on an equalfooting.
If there is something urgent on you mind, you will be unable to devoteyourself to origami. When it is off your mind, get to work on origami. Many peopletake up origami to forget what is on their mind and worries, and then they can pickthemselves up again.You are busy, but if you find time to spare, try origami.
By the way, how about those who are absorbed in origami and have notime?

For Practical Use and Playseer Enjoy folding
The containers introduced in this chapter will be about the size of your palm.Since they are folded, thick paper is not suitable. It is possible to make largercontainers, but they are something out of tune. Containers of origami are notstrong and they can hold only light things. Accordingly, gentle handling isimportant.
They are intended for play rather than for practical use. They areheartwarming. That will be because the folder's intent is conveyed to thereceiver.100
