Japanese Paper Models - Explore the Traditional Art of Paper
Japanese paper models, also known as "kirigami" or "origami", are paper models created using traditional Japanese paper folding techniques. Japanese paper models can take the form of all sorts of things, from animals and characters to buildings and vehicles. They are usually made from rice paper or washi paper (traditional Japanese paper), and can be coloured or decorated with traditional Japanese motifs such as cherry blossoms, bamboo leaves and birds.

Japanese paper models are considered symbols of patience, precision and creativity, and can be used to create unique and interesting decorative objects.
