Origami Museum

There are few display of figurines made by paper. Perfect work. They have prebooked origami classes too. They also have so many origami books and craft papers to choose. We are lucky to meet the owner the master himself doing demonstrations on how to fold it, “easy is the best” he said, which I agreed. I got his signature too when I purchase his books. Worth the visit.

Such a great spot to visit, and it’s even free! They have all kinds of origami to see plus demonstrations. The gift shop is lovely, and you can even learn about paper dyeing. Such a great spot for people of all ages.

The owner of the company made a demonstration and gave them away if you bought one of the books. He was also very friendly. Overall great museum!

Small museum with incredibly friendly instructors. Don't miss the origami paper making workshop that's split into another floor - everything is in Japanese for the most part but a talented papermaker stopped mid morning to demonstrate techniques from the educational video playing and show us various tools! It's a nonprofit with free demonstrations and a small, free exhibit so come to pay reasonable prices for beautiful prints, origami books signed by the director of the school, or a neat origami kit to take home.

Ochanomizu Origami Kaikan is a multi-functional space dedicated to the art of origami, featuring a museum, workshop, and craft shop, and aims to promote cross-cultural exchange between Japan and the international community. Visiting Origami Kaikan and Jimbocho Book Town in a day trip will be more enjoyable.

A place to enjoy details of all things handmade paper. Nicely displayed with public classes on Saturdays.

A nice little place to spend an hour or so if you're into origami and want to revisit a beloved childhood pastime, though there's something for the more advanced aficionados too. It's not a "museum" per se and not very big, so people coming expecting this may be disappointed. There are nice displays of origami and paper dolls, the 3rd floor has a small shop with all kinds of paper, finished origami and books (including ones to make the complicated animals and human figures in the gallery section) for sale and if you're lucky the master will come out to do a demonstration. There's also another floor with a paper dyeing workshop. There are also more formal classes but these have to be booked in advance.

a quaint little museum with a range of origami on display - also a dyeing studio with the master at work; there’s a video showing the dyeing process in English; quite nice to spend an hour or so learning about origami and dyeing
