Amazing Origami Kit: Traditional Japanese Folding Papers and Projects [144 Origami Papers with Book, 17 Projects]

Got it for my young brother in law, he liked it. It’s got some really fun stuff in there and the paper is really nice. Easy to fold and perfect for origami. Pretty high quality paper too

The completed pieces were quite pretty, especially if you buy the lovely origami paper. The instructions were frustrating for my 8 year old granddaughter and even my daughter. Once my daughter figured it out it was easy. Apparently all the origami books are designed this way and this one still had the best arrangements of beginner to intermediate origami styles.

Yo nunca había hecho origami, te ayuda con los conocimientos para lograrlo. Algunos pasos pueden ser confusos desde mi inexperiencia. Incluye hojas de papel con diseños preciosos.

Purchased for my 13 year old who absolutely loves working with any kind, shape, design or thickness of paper. HE LOVES THIS! We have now sat down and had 'Origami-offs'! They have been very fun! I didn't realize what a fun thing it would be for me as well. PROS: The product is extremely well worth the money. The papers are very good quality with beautiful prints on them. The instruction book is well written with fairly easy to read, concise descriptions of how to build origami pieces. The Box is well constructed out of cardboard and will hold onto the contents for a time, not to leave you with a mound of paper and book and no box. CONS: The instructions, in my opinion, could easily have a couple of pieces for smaller and more beginner people. I think they are AWESOME foldables, however, I even had a hard time with a couple of them. I am an adult of a specific age... ;>) Thank you for making such a great product. The picture is the first Koi our family has ever owned! A proud Koi from said 13 year old!

The paper is a knockout selection of double-sided, intensely colored and detailed traditional-style designs with contrasting backings. The inks range from flat to gloss to metallic and all papers have a very smooth waxy/semi-gloss finish. Fortunately they do not have the particularly noxious smell that some papers do, but the booklet does emit some odors that may be offensive to the chemically sensitive for close-up work and needs to be aired out. I was shocked by the quality of the paper in a kit targeted for for beginning-to-intermediate folders. That alone has me entirely happy with the purchase. The booklet is a booklet, not a book, and in its brevity condenses steps that would be better shown in a longer series of simpler diagrams into fewer diagrams with numbers for which folds to do in sequence. This would be hard for a beginner to grasp and would be quite discouraging if this were their only source for learning. They would be better off learning the techniques of basic origami from some simple projects easily found for free online or from the library, or even from a small packet of orgami paper that inclues instructions for a few standard models in the packaging, as many do. There are some projects in the booklet that are simple enough for a beginner, but the projects are not presented in order of complexity. The models are nicely diverse, by a variety of good designers, and are likely to offer at least a few that are different even for experienced origamists, who would surely appreciate the papers.

Got this for an adult and he loved it. Great kid for kids or grownups.

Fun for kids

The origami paper with the book is poor quality. Tears too easily and doesn't fold well unfortunately.

Era para regalar y quedó contentísimo. Gustó mucho y es un pack completo. Atención a este dato, eso si: Las instrucciones son en inglés!

El instructivo tiene una pequeña introduccion al origami, un buen numero de papel y los proyectos son claros y sencillos para nivel principiante.

Le papier est de très mauvaise qualité. Brillant et se froisse vite. Comme du papier cadeaux. Pas du tou agréable à manipuler. Lorsqu'on le plie, il laisse des bandes blanches sur les deux côtés. Le manuel est en anglais. Les instructions sont incompréhensibles dans les formes les plus complexes. J'ai testé d'autres marques bien plus pratiques. A éviter.

As soon as my daughter received it. She managed to do 4 origami in 1 sitting.

Bought this as a gift for my partner and absolutely cannot fault the quality of the product at all. The paper provided looks great and is of a good quality. Only thing I would be cautious of is how difficult it is. Maybe should have gone for a more beginner set up as the instructions aren’t very clear and probably require more knowledge of origami to successfully complete.
