HI EVERYONE

So I'm a bit curious about the stablishment of November 11 as Origami Day in 
Japan. Who participated in its establishment? In what year was it established?
I know of two versions as to why was that date chosen as Origami Day: (a) 11/11 
represent the four sides of a square of paper like the ones used most often for 
origami nowadays, and (b) the First World War Armistice was signed in that 
date, but in 1918, and since the origami crane became a symbol of peace with 
the passing of Sadako Sasaki, November 11 was considered a good date to 
celebrate origami. 

Is one of these two the main reason as to why that date was chosen? If so, 
which one? Was there another reason?


Thank you in advance!
