Why Must Read Amazing Origami Kit: Traditional Japanese Folding Papers and Projects [144 Origami Papers with Book, 17 Projects]?
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.
