Geocache Description:


The cache is not at the posted coordinatesΒ 

This is the sixth in a series of origami caches.

Origami is the traditional Japanese art of paper folding, which started around the 17th century. It has since then evolved into a modern art form. The goal of this art is to transform a flat sheet of material into a finished sculpture through folding and sculpting techniques, and as such the use of cuts or glue are not considered to be origami. The number of basic origami folds is small, but they can be combined in a variety of ways to make intricate designs.

Japan is a country of lilies. Of the total 96 species all over the world, 15 species are indigenous to Japan. The Japanese have been fond of lilies and sometimes regarded them as sacred plants. YURI, the Japanese word for depicting lily, comes from the old Japanese word YURU that means "swing". It seems that ancient people named the plant after the sight of its flowers swinging in the wind. The Japanese often use YURI as a girl's name, and sometimes add SA to become SAYURI. This SA means "sacred" in old Japanese. Lilies were sacred plants in ancient times.
