Origami Paper and Washi: Sizes, Chiyogami and Washi Tape

Last updated: 2026-10-30.

TL;DR

Origami paper (折り紙, おりがみ) is thin square paper made for folding. The everyday Japanese size is the 15 cm (about 5.9 inch) square, with 7.5 cm squares for small cranes and 24–50 cm sheets for complex or display models.^[5][1] Washi (和紙) is Japanese paper made from the inner bark of kozo, gampi and mitsumata, and its hand-made tradition is on the UNESCO intangible heritage list.^[6][7] Chiyogami (千代紙) is patterned craft paper, yuzen paper is stencil-dyed Kyoto paper, and washi tape is masking tape with a washi base, launched by the mt brand in 2008.^[8][9][10]

• Sizes: 7.5 / 15 / 17–18 / 24 / 30 / 50 cm squares, with prices from a Tokyo origami shop.
• Types: single-color, double-sided, foil, washi, yuzen and chiyogami origami paper.
• Washi: fibers, how it is made, UNESCO, the nine washi regions and how to tell washi from “rice paper”.
• Washi tape: what it is, the standard 15 mm × 7 m roll and washi tape vs masking tape.

As of October 2026, this guide answers what origami paper is, the standard origami paper size and dimensions in cm and inches, the types of Japanese origami paper, origami history and the paper crane, what washi paper is made of and what it is used for, chiyogami vs yuzen vs washi, washi tape uses and sizes, where to buy Japanese origami paper and washi in Tokyo and Kyoto, and how to order them from Japan.

What Is Origami Paper?

Origami means folding paper into shapes. The Japanese government’s Highlighting Japan defines it as making shapes from one square sheet by folding only, without cutting, and calls the crane the most common origami model in Japan.^[11] The word is 折り (ori, folding) + 紙 (kami, paper); Japanese dictionaries give the reading orikami as well as origami, and say “origami” is now an international word.^[5] So “origami paper” in Japanese is simply おりがみ or 折り紙 — the same word as the craft — and a plain colored sheet is also called 色紙 (irogami).^[8]

Origami paper is sold as small, precut squares that are thin, crisp and colored on one side. That is what separates it from regular paper. Printer paper, construction paper and scrapbook paper are thicker and not square, so they crack at sharp creases and make bulky models — fine for a paper airplane, harder for a crane. If you only have US letter paper (8.5 x 11 in), fold one corner down to the opposite edge and cut off the strip to get an 8.5-inch (21.6 cm) square; that is close to the 20–24 cm sheets Japanese shops sell for bigger models.

Most packs list size, sheet count and colors but not paper weight (gsm), so compare thickness by type: standard kami is thin, foil and “extra-thick metallic” sheets are heavier, and washi origami is soft and fibrous. “High quality” on a listing is not a standard grade, so judge quality by the base paper, size and sheet count.^[1][4][3]

Origami Paper Sizes and Measurements (cm and inches)

Japanese encyclopedias say the colored origami paper that spread through schools and kindergartens from late Meiji to Taisho was about 15–18 cm a side, and that is still the core size.^[5] The table uses tax-in prices listed at the Ochanomizu Origami Kaikan online shop on 2026-10-30 (shop prices, not maker list prices).

So what size is origami paper? The standard origami paper size is 15 × 15 cm (about 6 × 6 inches). Crane-chain papers for senbazuru are mostly 7.5 cm; the Origami Kaikan shop even has a separate category for senbazuru paper.^[12] Japanese listings write sizes such as 6cm, 7.5cm, 10cm x 10cm, 12cm, 15cm x 15cm, 17cm, 18cm, 20cm x 20cm, 24cm, 30cm x 30cm and 50 x 50 cm. Large sheets are for complex or display models, and a large pack ships in a bigger box, which matters for international shipping (see below).

Types of Japanese Origami Paper

The Origami Kaikan shop sorts its range into single-color, double-sided, metallic, Tant paper, washi origami, yuzen origami, chiyogami, large sizes and senbazuru paper, plus separate washi such as kozo paper, momigami and unryu.^[1][3][13] Examples from that shop (tax-in, 2026-10-30):

Toyo and Showa Grimm each have their own category in this shop; Showa Grimm sells 7.5 cm “Harmony” paper for senbazuru (¥264), a 30-color double-sided box (¥1,045) and a double-sided washi chiyogami selection (¥935).^[14] “Japanese origami paper with traditional designs” usually means chiyogami or yuzen printed sheets; “double sided origami paper with a different color on each side” is the ryomen type.

Origami History and the Paper Crane

Japanese encyclopedias say folding grew up after papermaking reached Japan (traditionally in 610), starting with shrine purification papers — gohei and shide — and developing into ceremonial wrapping called orikata (折形).^[5][15] Kuwana City says folding was used in ceremonies, gifts and etiquette from the Heian period and became a pastime only in the Edo period.^[16] The crane, the yakko-san and the hakama date from the mid-Edo period.^[5]

In 1797 the book Senbazuru Orikata showed 49 designs of linked cranes (renkaku) devised by Rokoan Gido, priest of Choen-ji in Kuwana: 2 to 97 cranes folded from one sheet, joined only by cuts. Kuwana City calls it the oldest book on recreational origami in the world, and says the linked cranes must be folded from washi because its tangled fibers don’t tear.^[16][5]

Modern origami art owes much to Akira Yoshizawa (1911–2005), who founded the International Origami Society in 1954, held his first overseas solo show in Amsterdam in 1955, and was sent by Japan’s foreign ministry and the Japan Foundation to about 50 countries.^[17] Tokyo’s Paper Museum held a Yoshizawa exhibition from March 14 to May 24, 2026.^[18] Origami Kaikan says it was the first in the world to make and sell origami paper as a product, in the Meiji era — that is the company’s own claim.^[19]

What does the paper crane mean?

Senbazuru (千羽鶴) are many folded cranes strung on thread. The crane is a lucky bird, a thousand is especially auspicious, and “thousand” means “many”, not an exact count; senbazuru are offered at shrines and temples and given to sick people as a wish for recovery.^[20] In Hiroshima, Sadako Sasaki, exposed to the atomic bomb at age 2 and diagnosed with leukemia in February 1955, kept folding cranes while hoping to recover; she died on October 25, 1955. Her story led to the Children’s Peace Monument, completed in 1958, which receives about 10 million cranes a year.^[21][11] The Nippon Origami Association marks November 11 as Origami Day.^[22]

What Is Washi Paper?

The washi meaning is literally “Japanese paper”: the washi kanji are 和 (wa, Japanese) and 紙 (shi, paper). By definition, washi is paper made in Japan from the inner-bark fibers of gampi, kozo, mitsumata and similar plants. Encyclopedias describe it as strong and slow to deteriorate, in contrast with Western paper made from wood pulp — and note that the word is also used loosely for machine-made paper that imitates washi.^[6] The Mino Washi Museum likewise lists hand-made and machine-made Mino washi separately, so “washi” on a label does not tell you how it was made.^[23]

What is washi paper made from?

Sources: ^[6][24][25]. Washi is not made from rice. In English, “rice paper” is a loose shop name for thin Asian papers; Japanese washi is made from bast fibers like kozo (paper mulberry). Tissue paper and crepe paper are machine-made papers, so “Japanese paper vs tissue paper” or “vs crepe paper” compares a bast-fiber paper with a wood-pulp one. Korean hanji and Chinese xuan paper are separate papermaking traditions, so a “washi vs hanji” or “washi vs xuan paper” comparison is really a comparison of three countries’ papers.

How washi is made

1. Kozo and mitsumata bark is steamed and stripped (gampi is stripped raw), and the outer bark is scraped off.
2. The white inner bark is cooked in an alkaline solution, rinsed and cleaned by hand.
3. The fibers are beaten.
4. The pulp goes into a vat with neri, a plant mucilage usually from the tororo-aoi root, and a screen on a frame scoops the mix and is rocked back and forth — nagashi-zuki (流し漉き).

Nagashi-zuki is described as a technique unique to Japan; it lets makers form many thin, strong, even sheets, and the wet sheets can be peeled apart one by one.^[26][6]

What is washi paper used for?

UNESCO lists letters, books and documents, and home interiors such as paper screens, room dividers and sliding doors.^[7] Shoji paper softly diffuses light, blocks noise and tempers humidity and temperature.^[27] Washi is porous, so it suits ink and brush but generally not pen or printing ink; gampi paper is the exception, dense enough for pen writing.^[6] That is why washi lamps, washi lanterns, shoji screens and calligraphy paper are the classic uses — for brushes, ink and hanshi see our Japanese calligraphy supplies guide. Plain washi is not waterproof; washi treated with persimmon tannin or konnyaku paste becomes water-resistant and was used for paper clothing (kamiko).^[6] Tosa tengujo paper is about 0.03 mm thick.^[28]

Washi and UNESCO: Hon-minoshi, Hosokawa-shi, Sekishu-banshi and Echizen Torinoko

Sekishu-banshi was inscribed on its own in 2009; in 2014 the listing was extended as “Washi, craftsmanship of traditional Japanese hand-made paper”, covering Sekishu-banshi (Hamada, Shimane), Hon-minoshi (Mino, Gifu) and Hosokawa-shi (Ogawa and Higashi-chichibu, Saitama).^[29][30] In December 2025 UNESCO extended it again (decision 20.COM 7.b.51) to add Echizen Torinoko paper, a gampi paper with a faint yellowish color and a smooth, glossy surface — so the listing now covers four hand-papermaking traditions.^[31][32][7] Torinoko paper is a high-grade gampi paper, usually said to be named after its eggshell color.^[33] Hosokawa-shi is a pure-kozo, very strong paper; Hon-minoshi and Sekishu-banshi techniques were designated Important Intangible Cultural Properties in 1969.^[34][35][30]

Washi regions: METI traditional crafts

Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry designates traditional crafts (densan) under a 1974 law; there were 244 items as of October 27, 2025.^[36] Washi items with their designation years include:

Source: Kotobank regional-brand entries.^[37][38][28] This is not the full list. Inshu washi is described as Japan’s top producer of calligraphy paper, and “Echizen washi” is a registered regional collective trademark held by the Fukui prefectural washi cooperative — a name right, not a grade.^[38][37]

Washi paper workshops in Japan

Echizen Washi no Sato (Fukui) runs papermaking workshops of about 20–40 minutes, including hands-on nagashi-zuki with domestic kozo, next to its Paper Culture Museum.^[39] The Mino Washi Museum in Gifu is open 9:00–17:00 (adults ¥500).^[23] In Tokyo, Origami Kaikan lets visitors watch its dyeing studio during business hours and runs classes by reservation.^[40]

What Is Chiyogami? Chiyogami vs Yuzen vs Washi

Chiyogami (千代紙, “thousand-generations paper”) is washi with patterns printed in color by woodblock. It has been used to cover small boxes, dress paper dolls (anesama ningyo) and for origami and kirigami.^[8] One theory says the name comes from auspicious patterns like crane-and-turtle or pine-bamboo-plum (wishing “a thousand ages”); another says it comes from its use in the Ooku of Edo Castle (Chiyoda Castle).^[8] Japanese encyclopedias date chiyogami to after the Kansei era (1789–1801), and say hand-printed woodblock chiyogami faded quickly after World War II — most is machine-printed today, some on Western paper.^[8]

Kyo chiyogami vs Edo chiyogami: Kyoto chiyogami was sold first, then Edo chiyogami overtook it; Kyoto designs tend to be subdued and Edo designs bolder.^[8] The chiyogami meaning, then, is “paper of a thousand generations”. Isetatsu, a Tokyo chiyogami publisher founded in 1864, defines chiyogami as traditional patterns hand-printed by woodblock on hosho paper, each sheet passing through a designer, a carver and a printer.^[41][42]

Yuzen paper (友禅紙) is Kyoto washi dyed with kimono-style yuzen designs. Taki Washi says craftsmen apply each color through a gauze stencil, one sheet at a time; Sakura Horikiri describes pushing color through the stencil with a squeegee and says Kyoto workshops hold more than 10,000 designs.^[9][43]

So “chiyogami vs washi” is not either-or: chiyogami is a patterned paper, often printed on washi. Shops use the labels loosely — Showa Grimm sells “washi chiyogami” origami and Origami Kaikan files yuzen under chiyogami — so read the listing for the base paper and printing method.^[14][13] For ukiyo-e prints themselves (which chiyogami patterns often borrow from), see the most expensive ukiyo-e prints.

What Is Washi Tape?

Washi tape is decorative masking tape with a washi base. The mt brand is made by Kamoi Kakoshi, founded on February 15, 1923 in Kurashiki, Okayama, which started with flypaper and moved into industrial and painting masking tape; industrial tape for building sites and car painting is still about 80% of its output.^[10][44][45] The washi tape origin story: in about 2006 three women who had made a mini-book about masking tape asked to see the factory; after about a year of trials, mt for stationery and gifts launched in 2008 with 20 traditional Japanese colors, and more than 1,000 designs have been made since.^[44][45] mt won a Good Design Award in 2008.^[10]

Is washi tape actually washi?

The maker says mt is made of washi. Its factory report says the base paper is “mainly washi”, with adhesive (mainly natural rubber) on one side and a release agent on the other.^[44][45] A retailer listing for mt basic gives the base material as washi and the country of origin as Japan.^[46]

Washi tape vs masking tape and painter’s tape

The washi tape meaning (and etymology) is simply “masking tape made of washi”; its purpose is decoration and light, removable labeling. Washi tape is a masking tape — the difference is the thin washi base and the printed designs. The maker describes mt as thin, smooth washi that tears by hand, follows the shape it is stuck to and peels off without breaking partway.^[44] A retailer adds that it leaves no marks and can be reused; that is retailer copy, not a maker claim.^[46] Is washi tape removable? That is how the maker describes it, but for walls (washi tape vs painters tape) buy painters tape labeled for painting and test on a hidden area.

Washi tape sizes

Washi tape rolls are sold by width and length. The basic mt roll is 15 mm wide × 7 m long (roll diameter 44 mm, 7 g), listed at ¥231 tax-in at Maruzen Junkudo on 2026-10-30.^[46] Other widths and lengths vary by series, so check the mm figure on each listing. Washi tape uses include journaling and planners, card making, gift wrap, labels, photo corners and gallery walls. For washi tape alongside other Japanese pens and notebooks, see our Japanese stationery brands guide.

mt holds a factory tour at the Kurashiki factory about once a year (Kamoi says about 14,000 visitors come), and mt exhibitions have toured Bangkok, Seoul, Taipei, New York and Paris.^[47][10]

Where to Buy Japanese Origami Paper and Washi in Japan (Japanese Paper Goods Stores)

Sources: ^{[40][41][48][49][50][51][52][53][54]}. Origami Kaikan is open 9:30–16:30 and closed Sundays and national holidays; its online shop quotes domestic shipping only.^[40][2] Haibara says it does not ship overseas.^[49] Ozu Washi’s online shop has an overseas-delivery page; check its own terms before ordering.^[51]

How to Buy Origami Paper, Washi and Washi Tape from Japan

1. Search in Japanese. Origami paper is 折り紙 or おりがみ, chiyogami is 千代紙, yuzen paper is 友禅紙, washi is 和紙, and washi tape is マスキングテープ (often with “mt”). Add the size: 15cm, 7.5cm, 24cm.
2. Check the listing: size in cm, sheet count, single- or double-sided, the base paper (washi or Western paper) and whether the pattern is printed or dyed.
3. Use LinkBuy for maker and shop web stores that don’t ship abroad, such as small washi shops.
4. Think about the box. Paper is light, but 24–50 cm sheets and rolled washi need a large carton or tube, and shipping is charged on volumetric weight if it is higher. Consolidating several packs into one box usually helps — get a quote first.
5. Before it ships: paper bends and creases. Add package reinforcement (from ¥100; a box change and outer padding are extra), or unboxing photos (¥500 / ¥700) to check the sheets at the Tokyo warehouse.

For wrapping gifts in cloth rather than paper, see furoshiki and tenugui; for Japanese paper sizes such as B5 and A4 in cm and inches, see Japanese paper sizes.

OneMall buys from Japanese marketplaces such as Mercari, Yahoo Auctions, Rakuten and Amazon Japan, and from other Japanese online stores (including maker web shops) through LinkBuy.
