About WOD (World Origami Days)
On September 2005AOrigamiUSA was interested in making October 24th as the World Origami Day, since that date is the birthday of Lillian Oppenheimer (1898-1992), one of the founders of the British Origami Society and OrigamiUSA. Makoto Yamaguchi then mentioned that in Japan November 11th already in use as the gOrigami Dayh. So, the period from 10/24 to 11/11 was then agreed to become the period of gWorld Origami Daysh (or WOD for short.)
Since then OrigamiUSA had been engaged to spread the celebration of origami by spreading the joy of paperfolding in the whole world by promotions of the web events and individuals activities. In 2011 OrigamiUSA partnered with JOAS in order to promote WOD.
