...cause is a sharp drop in the growth of world oil consumption since the cartel countries dictated their four fold price increase last year. A 7% de cline in West European oil imports since then has sent tanker charter rates plunging. Before the oil embargo started in October 1973, the cost of a spot charter (one or two trips) of a 220,000-ton super tanker for the 11,000-mile round trip from the Persian Gulf to Rotterdam reached a record $8.8 million. By mid-November, the rate had fallen to $2.6 million. Today a 220,000-ton tanker...

Thus, because paper was considered to embody a deity in ancient Japan, you could not cut it (a murder of the god). You could fold it without violation, however, and thus origami and its related art of paper packaging came into being.
