Kusudama is a traditional Japanese art form which has evolved in to what is now generally referred to as modular origami. But there is a difference between the two.

The form of Kusudama goes back to before written history. The general consensus is that they were used to hold bunches of herbs or flowers as urban culture took hold. Before this the plants would have been hung on their own and the kusudama evolved as an aesthetically pleasing receptacle for both potpourri and incense.
