Origami paper is a special type of paper designed for the art of folding, known as origami. It is typically lightweight and comes in various colors and patterns, making it ideal for creating intricate designs. The paper is often smooth and has a fine texture, allowing for precise folds without tearing. Unlike regular paper, origami paper is usually square-shaped, which is the standard format for many origami models. It can be made from different materials, including rice paper and washi, providing a range of options for artists and hobbyists.
