I see my work was already done.
But since I already went to the trouble of hitting that reply button (which I did after I saw that my work was already done, so apparently I just like to hear myself talking, or, in this instance, read myself writing), I'll reiterate:
Golarion has what you want it to have.
If you want origami there, there's origami there. If you want some island country where people enjoy their ale warm, it's there.
An important part of roleplaying is to make the game your own. Incorporate whatever you want.
For example, we have several Firefly fans in our group, so "gorram" has become an official cussword, and "grappling" has received a second meaning. A GM incorporated words like "sigul" and phrases like "thankee-sai" and "long days and pleasant nights" after reading the Dark Tower, and I've been known to have noble houses similar in style to those found in Song of Ice and Fire (complete with "house words", or the "it is known" mantra)
I think James may also be tipping his hand that there may be origami in some not-yet-published-but-currently-in-development supplement....

...or some weird, mind-shattering result when the rulebooks and adventures are folded and assembled in the proper manner.

He's revealing the new base class -- the Paper Folder. ('Origamiist' was found too awkward.) At each level, the Paper Folder learns a new fold, allowing them to add four more objects or animals to their list.
Unlike most spellcasters, the Paper Folder is limited only by their supply of magically enhanced Washi and the time it takes them to fold a creature. They can only pre-fold one creature at a time. (The Quick Folding and Extra pockets feats can be selected after level 6.)
Preliminary playtesters claimed the class was overpowered because of the unlimited folds per day but then the DMs rediscovered wandering monsters tables. Suddenly the other members of the party were abandoning the Paper Folders in the corridors of dungeons, working on the open double sink fold as gelatinous cubes, carrion crawlers, and groups of bandits wandered up.

There certainly is origami in Golarion!Technically, in "Golarion" the closest you can get is "Oragoni"
Of only they had called it Goareon, it would have been so much spicier that way!
Are we talking about regular Origami or magical origami where after you create the thing it magically becomes real to smite your foes?
We call about how some lord swears that he will never order, in spoken or written word, nor in charade or otherwise gesture, the death of another.
And then he folds a perfect replica of that man - without a head.

Actually, despite some of the weaknesses of paper, it's well known that these "paper folding" battles can be pretty damn epic.
(There used to be a better version of this at Youtube, but this should still give you the idea, albeit with crappy music.)
And the "correct" term for it is "kamitsukai." ^__^

This is not the first Knowledge (Anime) check I've failed this week.
(After our last exchange, I think I should be scolding you for getting all serious on a post that was clearly intending to be funny.) ;-)
Thanks for the official response, James, but did we really need one?
Actually, the fact that we get an "official" response to these sort of questions is one of the great things about the Paizo forums.
Thanks for the answers.

Yeah, but, I used a smiley face.
(And now you did too! So I know you're teasing! Yay!)
Also, I have chocolate now. :D
There's a 3PP wizard archetype from Rite Publishing Way of the Samurai (PFRPG) called the Onmyoji who specializes as an origami caster, and would more than likely be found somewhere in Minkai and the lands around it. Of course they aren't official.
