Origami Paper 300 sheets Japanese Washi Patterns 4" (10 cm): Tuttle Origami Paper: Double-Sided Origami Sheets Printed with 12 Different Designs

To qualify my opinion, I should mention that I have been doing origami for 40 years: I have a broad experience and basis for evaluation.I've used 50 or so sheets of this for polyhedra before writing this review, tearing them into sixths and quarters for models requiring 30 units.The paper is strong, thin, lightweight and consistent. It holds creases well and the patterned ink permeates the paper well. If you tear it (to make smaller rectangles) there is *some* visible white on the rough edges but the ink application is clearly more than merely surface-deep. It doesn't rub off with thumbnail-creasing as lower quality, glossy papers may do.Squareness is, to the best judgement of my eye after folds that would reveal discrepancy, to within a tenth of a millimeter. Completely adequate for anything you might fold with paper of this size; any misalignment or inconsistency has been my own fault for poor folds, not the paper's fault for lack of quality.The colors are just as pictured, not super-vibrant but not at all pale. Some reviews have commented on the paper having semi-mute color, and this is an aesthetic consideration - personally I prefer a more subdued tone - but i take issue with those reviews because the images on Amazon do in fact accurately represent the product I received. Such customers should not have expected the product to be more vibrant than what was pictured; the product in fact looks to the naked eye just as the images in the description.Many reviews mention that the paper is smaller than they thought -- but this is because they did not pay attention to the product description. in America & Europe, something on the order of 6" squares are more or less a standard origami paper. For the projects I had in mind, I wanted a 4" square, so I ordered the thing I wanted. These ARE 4" papers, which is a semi-standard in Asia. It is exactly what I wanted. All i can say to the people who reviewed saying it is smaller than they presumed is, um... read description. In origami, folding a model from smaller paper is both a demonstration/test of skill and also intrinsically has relevance to the size of your hands. This paper, at 4", of high quality, if well-executed, complex, beautiful pattern is targeted at the experienced, skillful folder. In that respect it checks every box: it folds well, it is square to the highest relevant accuracy, it is low-acid ((for archival longevity)), it is pretty, and I have no reservation about recommending it to anyone I know with the single caveat that it is smaller than the American/European "average" paper, so you should practice with some other cheap paper if you lack confidence before you fold something with it, to avoid *wasting* sheets.No other reviews i read mentioned this: this is not the sort of paper you would want to wet-fold with. For that you want a much thicker, more fibrous sheet that you can mold. Wet-folding is a niche-art that only certain models make sense to use the techniques with, and in general if you're into that you know what you're looking for and **probably** aren't looking at 4" squares anyway -- but since it wasn't mentioned, i thought perhaps i should. Not that wet-folding is impossible with this paper, but it's not ideal for it. If that's what you want to do, research and look elsewhere. That fact is no slight against this paper at all; I am 100% pleased with it. It's great; it suits everything i intended to use it for excellently.another thing common in reviews is the number of sheets you get: if you want to fold polyhedra, the complete icosahedral/dodecahedral potential is realized with 30 sheets. this paquet does not contain 30 sheets per design. So that is on the buyer: if you don't intend to use a quarter or sixth or other smaller fraction of each sheet, then yes, you ought to have bought a 500-pack instead of a 300-pack. Do the math ((300 sheets, 12 patterns)) and be aware that you aren't going to get 30 un-cut identical units from this. buy a 500 pack instead. For my purposes I didn't need 30 full sheets per model, paid attention to what I was purchasing, and am more than satisfied.overall/TLDR:very good paper. worth every penny. beautiful, functional and archival.pay attention to product description; it's 4" squares not 6" and it is 300 sheets ((25 per design)). you get exactly what you pay for; it looks just like the pictures. if the number and size isn't what you want, good grief, buy what you actually need & don't complain because you didn't pay attention.definitely will buy again when i run out -- 110% satisfied with purchase it's a very good value for very good quality!

Have used these a lot, they are cute and double sided! But note they are small so keep an eye out on dimensions.

High quality paper with variety of patterns.

I got these to make penguins as wedding favors and the paper is great! I only wish the patterns were double sided but these still work!

I bought this paper for doing modular origami projects. I like all the patterns but I discovered that this brand is not perfectly square. You could probably cut it if you wanted; other than that the quality seems fine. Unfortunately I will avoid in the future.

If you're looking for 4" paper, this package is wonderful.I'm currently doing a project which needs 4" paper, and these are my favorite, if you want two-sided, un-embellished paper. Note that the design is on one side, and the reverse side is one solid color, with no design.My project is using a lot of gold-embellished 4" paper (the heavy-foil-ish type), and I love that paper, but if you don't want the gold embellishment, I highly recommend this paper.

This paper is lovely - it's one of the best folds I've ever had! Not too thick, not too thin. The description says it's printed on both sides, but it's not; however, each sheet does have a different color on the back that compliments the pattern.

I know it says clearly on the image and in the title and the description what the size is, but I wasn't paying attention. So, I was surprised when they came in, but the paper is a good thickness for its size and it's great to fold. And what I fold is so cute and tiny now. Tiny little paper cranes everywhere.
