(n.) A sport in which numerous people would make origami peace cranes, seals, pigs and other such animals and place them in inconspicuous places, that, if seen, are in plain view. Best played in work places or in schools; the winner is the person who places the most origami without them being removed. Origami placed outdoors without being disfigured are worth two origamis.
