Aitoh Origami Paper, 1005 Sheets, 2 3/4 Inches Square, Pastel Tone, Made in Japan

This imported Japanese origami paper is 2.75" square, and very thin (imagine a heavy gauge tissue paper almost)to allow for the densely layered folds involved in making cranes, sold as a pack of 1005 for traditional 1000 Cranes projects. Though workable, you likely will not get precise beaks on your cranes- it has a tendency to twist and wad there often, working at this size... though it's not a big disappointment. The colors are *not* pastel- this is how the sheets appear from the side of the box because the paper is white on one side, however the color spectrum is quite pleasant. At how inexpensive it is for what you get, I'll definitely be getting this paper again.Tips for working with it to make 1000 Cranes:Divide all the paper into stacks of 40 in the proper color order before you begin. The way the colors are divided, it is impossible to have identical strands, so that will help prevent any surprises towards the end, like running out of colors in a bad spot.2 separated threads, doubled over in thickness (to appear as 4 through anything you stitch) of 6 ply cotton embroidery floss worked very well to thread them. I used fancy glass beads on both ends to lock the cranes into place.Explore your options for displaying them- I used a medium/large sized wrought iron floor/self standing wind chime stand. Strands of 40 cranes will be approximately 20"-22" long, plus or minus bead length.

I do lots of origami, especially modular things, and I LOVE this set of paper. They're small sheets of paper, but definitely not unbearable. I was a little worried when I got the package because it looked a little rough from the outside, but it was completely safe and unharmed when I opened the package.The paper seems like standard quality, with color on one side and white on the other. The box that the papers come in, seen in the photo, is adorable and very functional. When I got it, I took all of the papers out (plastic wrapping still on) and turned the stack to its side and set it back in the box. Perfect storage. It's a little hard to take individual papers out, but it works.I'm very happy with this product, there are so many papers, so many colors (15 COLORS! that's 67 papers per color!), and the packaging is beautiful, all for a great price. I will buy this again. (if I ever run out)

I love these papers! I looked at a lot of similar type paper before deciding on this one. The paper is thin, which I expected from the reviews, but not so thin that writing shows through on the papers. I purchased this specifically for a gratitude jar, which requires small papers that can be written on. This completely served that purpose and I still have a TON of paper left even with over a years worth of papers completed. The only thing that would’ve made this better is if the same color was on both sides of the paper. I also really like the box it comes in to keep the paper organized until it’s been used.

Paper is nice, perfect size for making 1000 cranes. One side is colored, one side is white. There are 15 different colors available. While there are more shades of orange and green than other colors, there is still a nice rainbow range that I am happy with. The paper is the perfect thinness -- thick enough to not rip by accident, but thin enough to easily fold cleanly. The box is cute, and very nice for reclosing, when you only want to take a few pieces out at a time. Very cute -- would recommend as a gift.

Perfectly square with vivid pastel colors on one side (white on reverse). Take a look at all of the customer pics to get a good idea of what the colors actually look like in person. There’s a couple shades of each color, but only one shade of lavender. I hope I can find more paper packs from this brand! It’s a good deal for the price!

I get very antsy when I sit for long periods of time, so I got in the habit of folding paper to keep my hands and mind busy. These are great because they fold very easily, and the abundance of colors allow me to create things in a variety of colors and patterns. Plus, the 1000 plus sheets have allowed me to fold as often as I need, and I still have nearly 2/3 of the box to go.

I bought those paper for taking short notes, which I fold and toss in a glass jar. They are easy to fold and write on. Stokes written by ink pen does show on the other side, but I don't mind it. It has happy colors that I like.

This is regular kami paper for origami, and is relatively light weight. The colors are more pastel, or muted, and are not vibrant shades like you often get in larger paper (this is 3 inch square).

Pages are too small and rip easily

色はあたたかみがあってとてもキレイでしたが、枚数が「15色×67枚＝1005枚」と中途半端でまとめる際に困りました。結局、贈る相手が家族という気楽さもあって、手持ちの似たような色の折り紙15枚を追加して、「（15色×4枚）×17本＝1020羽」でまとめました。折り紙を追加した1本は中のほうに隠したので、外からは分かりませんが、全体として少し長く、この方法はあまりおススメできません。とはいえ、1本あたり60羽（各色4枚）から45羽（各色3枚）に変更したところで、「（15色×3枚）×22本＝990羽」では15羽余り、「（15色×3色）×23本＝1035羽」では30羽不足するという問題は残ります。姉妹商品の「ニューカラー千羽鶴用千代紙」のレビューには、この問題に対する皆様方の工夫が紹介されていますので、是非、参考にしてみてください。私は気付くのが遅すぎました…。
