7/22/2023 0 Comments Paper kami![]() ![]() ![]() Paper Coloring or Colorability: You may ask, "Why would you color Kami?".If you include pattern variations, the choice is even wider! Colors: Most packs contain the 10 to 12 generic colors (blue, green, red, yellow, black, etc) with strong hues, but there are packs with 36, 50, or even 200 colors.(Editor's note: Other brands sell larger sheets, for example these 35cm squares.) ![]() The most common sizes are 15 cm and 7.5 cm. Sizes: As far as I know, the largest JIN kami available is 30cm ( item no.The thickness is 72 microns, somewhere between Japanese Foil (50 microns) and Printer Paper (105 microns). Thickness: The measured weight is 63gsm, while they state it is 60gsm. Today, with more than hundred paper types in my collection, I am older and wiser, and will try to see what it is really good for. For all the others, 15 cm was sufficient.įour years back, I had the notion that the best paper for my early attempts with tessellations is Kami it must be called Origami paper for a reason! I was surprised to see it didn't really work. For the complex models and tessellations I found an old packet of 30cm paper which is not in the catalogue any more, but still can be bought in BOS supplies. I went to look in my 15 cm paper drawer (yes, I do have a drawer for every paper size) for some to fold, and I found Pearl paper, Hologram paper, Duo papers, Melody and many more by JIN, but in this review we are going to focus on the basic product - simple, color on one side origami paper. Their products can be found in over 68 countries and in December 1998 they established the Jong Ie Nara Museum for paper art. Looking through their website you can see that they truly follow their motto: "Let's make a beautiful world together with Jong Ie Nara". Jong Ie Nara, which means 'Paper World', was founded by Dohun Jung In 1972. For example, the OUSA carries the Toyo brand, distributed in the USA by Mountain Valley Paper company, and available on The Source.īut since we cannot review them all we chose to review the paper by Jong Ie Nara (JIN), a South Korean company. However there are many, many producers of the classic square, with color on one side and white on the other. Unsurprisingly it is the most popular paper for origami and needs little introduction. Kami is simply the word for paper in Japanese, but in the last fifteen years or so it has come to mean 'ordinary' origami paper, the type that can be bought pre-cut in squares everywhere. ![]()
