This type of origami is popular not only for folding but also for utilizing the characteristics of the paper in various ways. One can enjoy a different texture by painting on colored origami, drawing, or tearing without folding. It serves as an accessible item for engaging with washi paper. The sophisticated presentation achieved by tearing and loosening the fibers is also appealing.

Washi paper has a structure where fibers intertwine, making it resistant to tearing when slightly wet. If shaped while the fibers are loosened with water and then dried while maintaining the ideal shape, it will hold its form for many years without deforming. For those concerned about the paper being too thin, folding several sheets together is recommended.

In the past, washi was a luxury item offered to deities. It is said that during the Heian period, the concept of using washi to wrap items beautifully became popular among aristocrats. The selection tailored to seasons and events brings out a sense of the season, delighting visitors’ eyes. It is also recommended for home time and hobby crafts.
