Wikipedia: Origami 
Origami (折り紙, Japanese pronunciation: [oɾiɡami] or [oɾiꜜɡami], from ori meaning “folding”, and kami meaning “paper” (kami changes to gami due to rendaku)) is the Japanese art of paper folding. In modern usage, the word “origami” is often used as an inclusive term for all folding practices, regardless of their culture of origin. The goal is to transform a flat square sheet of paper into a finished sculpture through folding and sculpting techniques. Modern origami practitioners generally discourage the use of cuts, glue, or markings on the paper.

I thought I’d earn some good money, but the profits were just
on paper…
Robin, going one worse
 
PS - I’m told profits should be in creasing soon.

Ironically my Origami business looked good on paper but ultimately folded after sales were flat.
