Daiso Japan40 Color Origami - 120 Sheets

This is a nice little set of Origami Paper!My daughters all of a sudden showed interest in Origami. Sometimes kids interests are very short lived. So I didn't want to invest in super high quality paper right away. But I also didn't want to get them really low grade paper that rips/tears easy. I almost skipped through this product after seeing it's price, as it was priced much lower than its competitors. I therefore assumed that it's quality would be compromised.But then I noticed that it had some very good reviews, and decided to give it a try. I was impressed! It came in perfect squares and offered a wide range of colors to make versatile projects. It folds nice and clean, and holds it's creases well. The kids are having a great time with it, and are going through them quick. What you get for this price is well worth it. I will be ordering a lot more of these soon.

This was my second purchase of this item, as the kids have been rapidly folding their way through the first pack. Do note that the paper is not precisely square, being ~1-2 mm longer on one side than the other. For casual origami practitioners, this need not be an issue, but it is noticeable in some folding situations and can be just a tad frustrating. Also, there is a multitude of fun colors, but a paucity of grays, as pointed out by my daughter, who wanted to make a gray crane to go with her rainbow of cranes. Each paper is colored on one side, white on the other.

Pros: Great selection of colors, colors are super vibrant, paper seems like good quality and is nice and thin (creases well, doesn't tear/fray). I made a quick lotus to test (pictured) and it folded easily and cleanly with nice sharp creases.Cons: Minus a star because a few of the papers had imperfections (6/120)(3 pictured). I don't mind too much as most of the imperfections were on the white side, so they can still be used for models with no/little white showing or as practice papers. They were also a bit oddly arranged in the package. Instead of each color grouped together, they were grouped in sets of 4 alternating colors (color 1, color 2, color 3, color 4 x 3 and then a different set of 4 colors and so on). It makes it a bit more tricky to find a specific color that you're looking for or to know how many sheets of a color you have left, but it's easy enough to rearrange them, just slightly annoying.Overall: Well worth the price. Colors and quality are excellent, cons are minor. Will buy again.

This origami paper is legit. Cheap bulk-buy knockoff just don’t cut it, real quality folding paper is designed to be folded without falling apart or ripping too easily, like that which is cheaply mass-produced in China and sold to you for the purpose of…. Practicing origami? I would rather practice with better paper, IMHO.

I was very pleased with this origami paper. I bought it for my son who loves making origami. The quality of the paper was great. It had the perfect size and thickness. You get a variety of beautiful colors to give your origami a very nice look. Delivery was fast and it came well packaged. I will definitely be ordering more and highly recommend it. I am very happy with my order.

My kids have been very into origami and these papers are unbeatable as far as cost per sheet. They are nice and thin and my kids have used them on many projects. I think my son figured there were about three of each shade, but there are many shades of each color, as you can see from the shades represented on the cover sheet pictured here.

Note! They only have color on one side. The back is a greyish hue affected by what color is on the front. Lots of solid colors to work with. The packaging is in Japanese? and English. You get 3 of each 40 color shade listed. It's decent paper priced fairly.

The paper itself is good for folding origami. It's thin enough not to make folding too difficult after a few folds, but thick enough that it isn't going to tear easily. The color selection is nice. Fully recommended as origami paper.I only give 3 stars because I have a tough time getting over this price. In Japan this same package can be found in any ¥100 store for only, well, 100 yen, which is less than a buck at the current exchange rate. Such an incredible markup is somewhat hard to swallow. I only ordered it because I was in America for several months and needed some for a project and the local art supply shop was out. Next time I visit America from Japan I will be sure to bring plenty of origami paper with me so I don't run out again.
