During the 6th century, the paper was introduced into Korea and then into Japan by Buddhist monks. It is in Japan that paper folding became an art form and evolved into what we know today as "origami". Ori?meaning "folding", and?Kami?meaning "paper". The small number of basic?origami folds?can be combined in a variety of ways to make intricate designs. Having explored the art of origami we have chosen a few boat designs to accompany our shorts. ?

The Kami midnight blue shorts with flamingo pink paper boats completes every gentlemans?wardrobe.
