Japanese samurai exchange decorated origami gifts, which are good luck souvenirs made of origami works and abalone strips or dried meat. Japanese Shinto nobles celebrated their wedding with sake (a Japanese rice wine), decorated with male and female paper butterflies representing the bride and groom.
When tea ceremony masters receive their diplomas, in order to keep them confidential, they usually fold the outer packaging of the diplomas. Once the package is opened, it cannot be folded unless it is creased. In other words, if there is an extra crease, it means that the document has been read.

Their art flourished in the13rd century. In the Muromachi era, different types of origami corresponded to different classes of Japanese samurai under aristocratic rule.
