The paper I used for these cranes is high quality Japanese washi paper. It is thicker and softer than normal paper so it is more durable and stronger. Washi paper is made using the pulp of three plants - kozo, mitsumata and gampi . It is part of the long tradition of high quality paper making in Japan. It often has very elaborate and colorful patterns, often with some gold or silver ink as well. I love the beautiful patterns of washi paper, and hope you do to!
Thanks for dropping by, let me know if you have any questions or custom requests!
