🗺️ Tokyo Origami Museum

The Japan Origami Association is an organization established to preserve and promote the traditional Japanese culture of "origami." The "Tokyo Origami Museum," which is part of the association's secretariat, officially opened in 2010 and serves as a facility for displaying origami works and holding origami workshops. The exhibition area showcases various works created by origami enthusiasts from both Japan and abroad. This includes pieces from the regular event "Origami Carnival," held to commemorate "Origami Day" on November 11, featuring intricate techniques and creativity that are truly breathtaking. All works can be photographed, and the exhibits are rotated regularly, allowing visitors to take pictures of their favorite pieces for keepsakes. Additionally, the workshop room on the second floor hosts regular classes led by origami instructors. The courses vary by instructor and include seasonal works and original creative designs, allowing participants to choose according to their preferences. The museum also has a shop that sells books, magazines, and various origami papers, including washi (Japanese paper).
