“Origami” is a traditional Japanese craft to fold paper into animal or plant shapes. For this “ORIJYU”, the material is not paper, but sliced wood! You can actually feel the texture of the wood with the tips in your finger while folding.

Origami, for the purpose of folding, should be as thin as possible while at the same time soft enough that it will not lose its shape. And, it should be noted, will always be cut in exact squares. The "Orijyu" sheet is about 0,15 mm thickness and a 15 cm square. The high technology is required to produce such thin wooden sheets.

5 sheets of high quality Japanese wooden paper contains in a pack. Each sheet has a beautiful natural wood grain to show. This paper is also ideal for “fine” paper punches, collages, backgrounds, embossing and card making.
