FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) August 4, 2008 -- The art of folding paper into intricate shapes and designs is almost like a part of the Japanese culture. What many folks in other parts of the world fail to understand is in addition to the folds in the paper, the paper itself plays a key role in the beauty of the finished project. Originally from China, origami (which means folded paper) is the attempt to create replicas of real objects by folding paper.

The type of paper used in origami, washi paper, is typically lighter than copy paper. The lighter paper is used to make many of the intricate folds easier to accomplish. The paper is also usually quite colorful on one side and plain white on the other to add brilliance to the finished folded object. However, origami paper can also be found with the colorful printing on both sides. View the different types of Japanese folding paper.

Japanese Folding Paper

Since its beginning in the sixth century, traditional origami paper was in the shape of a square. However, some origami practitioners have taken the liberties of trimming the size to make better visual representation of their planned project. Finding the right colorful paper in the most common sizes used in origami has become easier since the start-up of a new website, www.japanese-style.net. The site offers genuine Japanese paper, crepe goods and Yuzen Japanese paper which are all ideal for origami projects.

Many colorful papers with intricate designs are available in sizes most commonly used in the art of folding paper (100x100 mm, 3.93-inches square, 150x150 mm, 5.9-inches). These sized squares make most projects easily completed and provide more color than most common papers. These sheets come in packages of various sizes and can be seen at www.japanese-style.net along with information on many of the projects.

Washi Crafts

The skill required to produce many of the intricate folds is often misunderstood. One of the most common misconceptions is origami requires many different folds in the paper. In reality, there are only a few types of folds used. They are just different sizes and methods to create the illusion of real object in the form of folded paper.
