MAKE colorful and fun origami projects with this easy origami kit.
Traditional Japanese Washi, When Japan opened its borders in the 1860s, as part of a modernization strategy, they imported Froebel's Kindergarten system—and with it, German ideas about paperfolding. This included the ban on cuts, and the starting shape of a bicolored square. These ideas and some European folding repertoire, were integrated into the Japanese tradition. Before this, traditional Japanese sources use a variety of starting shapes, often had cuts; and if they had color or markings, these were added after the model was folded, a lot of inspirations from world-renowned origami artist, Michael LaFosse can be achieved by this quality collection of papers.

These origami papers are just gorgeous! They have the same image on both sides. Not only are they great for using in origami but, I incorporate them in my card making. I just put the same size of paper on the back to make it firm. I'm so glad I bought this

The designs are elegant and printed clearly on both sides. Paper is thin but strong enough to hold a great crisp fold.

I love that it comes with many different patterns, it is very easy to cut with scissors, and the size is perfect when making paper flowers. And is pretty sturdy for what it is.

The colours were very washed out and faint.I am an origami artist and was very much looking forward to receiving this paper, which was quite expensive compared to other brands. The colours are advertised as being vivid, which was one of the main attractions, but what I got was faint and washed out - like the printer was at the end of its ink run. It also took quite a long time to arrive.Very disappointed.

I wasn't sure how the double sided pattern was going to work while folding origami, but once I got used to it the results were excellent. I am folding 1000 cranes for a wedding and the double sided paper eliminated the thin light colored "lines" that are exposed when using one-sided paper. The paper is also sturdy and folds well. Once the 1000 cranes are completed, I will be using the paper to make washi "egg" ornaments.

The paper itself is pretty and folds very well.Only one thing I didnt like is the colors were more muted than I expected. I didn't realize they were double sided, with the same pattern on each side. I prefer a different pattern on each side, or one side blank, as this can make designs more interesting. Also, I think it would be more challenging for beginners to keep track of the "front" and "back" of the paler when folding, because the pattern is the same.You do get a nice quantity for the price. I will be checking the specifics of the paper more closely before buying in the future.

I don't agree with any of the negative reviews of this product, maybe people were getting confused about what they were ordering. The paper has patterns on both sides and the thickness is perfect for easy folding, but still holds rigidity when creased. The colors are vibrant and vivid, very clear and crisp and colorful. I received all TEN patterns (50 of each for a total of 500 sheets). The box the paper comes in is sturdy and great for storage. The product arrived quickly and all of the paper was in pristine condition. TOTALLY satisfied in every way, BEST value for the money (and I was a bit apprehensive about the price) but you truly get what you pay for. My ONLY complaint is that the paper smells very strongly of ink and chemicals (after all both sides of the paper are printed with patterns, times 500 sheets... that's gonna be stinky). If you love origami and want high quality/beautiful paper that is easy and fun to fold with epic-looking designs, then this is for you, you'll be very pleased!

I just unpacked and folded a few sheets of this origami paper. The pattern is printed on both sides and is perfectly clear, not blurry like some origami patterns. The colors are all rather muted, not bright and flashy. But I like the effect. The papers themselves are thin, perfect for multifold patterns and feel smooth to touch. They are also pretty much perfectly square! The ink from the patterns do not stain fingertips either! I love the papers and will be buying again.
