MJ-73/80  Origami Paper (MJ-801) - 150mm x 150mm Square

Origami paper, also known as origami folding paper or simply origami sheets, is a specialised type of paper used for the Japanese art of paper folding, known as origami.

Origami paper typically comes in square sheets, although rectangular sheets can also be used. The most common size is around 15 centimeters (6 inches) per side, but sizes can vary from miniature squares to larger sheets depending on the project and personal preference. They are usually thin and lightweight, allowing for easy folding and shaping. The thickness can vary slightly depending on the brand and quality of the paper, but it is generally thinner than regular printer paper.

Origami paper comes in a wide array of colours and patterns, ranging from solid colours to intricate designs and prints. Traditional origami paper is often one colour on one side and white on the other, but modern varieties may feature patterns, gradients, or foil accents. They are typically made from a variety of materials, including traditional washi paper, which is handmade from fibers of the mulberry tree, and more modern papers made from wood pulp, rice paper, or specialty origami paper designed specifically for folding. Some origami papers have a smooth texture, while others may have a slightly textured or embossed surface. The texture can affect the appearance and feel of the finished origami model, as well as its ability to hold creases and folds.

Good origami paper is easy to fold and crease without tearing or wrinkling. It should hold its shape well once folded, allowing for precise manipulation and intricate designs. Some origami paper may have special features such as pre-cut squares, double-sided coloration, or water-resistant coatings. These features can enhance the folding experience and the appearance of the finished model.

Origami paper is widely available in craft stores, stationery shops, and online retailers. It is often sold in packs containing multiple sheets of assorted colours or patterns, making it convenient for a variety of projects and creations.

Origami paper is an essential tool for origami enthusiasts of all skill levels, from beginners to advanced practitioners, and it plays a crucial role in the artistic expression and creativity of the ancient art form of paper folding.
