These 4-inch (10 cm) squares from Tuttle Publishing are designed for folders who specialize in smaller models or modular kusudama. The reduced surface area of these sheets actually increases the structural integrity of a final assembly, making it a functional choice for complex builds. While the patterns are inspired by authentic Edo-period textiles, the material itself is a 60-70 GSM wood-pulp bond that is optimized for crease retention and tensile memory.
The double-sided patterns are achieved through a duplex printing process that keeps the sheet thin enough for complex collapses, such as the Kawasaki Rose. Because the ink is calibrated to be flexible, it resists cracking along the fold lines even when dark pigments are used. The machine-cut precision ensures that each sheet is perfectly square, a necessary feature for the tight tolerances of miniature origami. This set is a practical resource for those aiming to complete a 1,000-crane project with a traditional look.
- 4-inch size is ideal for miniature models and modular units.
- Duplex printing keeps the paper thin for multi-layered folds.
- 12 unique patterns provide high aesthetic variance for large displays.
If you prefer working with very long strips of paper to make "lucky stars," the Ckncy 1512-sheet set is specifically designed for that project.
