Origami Museum

Extremely cute little shop and museum concerning the art of paper production and folding. Not only does it include many little origami creatures, but currently there is also an exhibition of the work of Carlo Vives I Torella. He invented new techniques and put his emphasis on designing greeting cards that you can marvel out and also open in this museum. You may even take part in a course which is only 1100yen. Definitely worth a visit if you are around the corner and want to experience this traditional Japanese art.

Absolutely fantastic shop with incredible displays of some origami works. If you get the chance to meet the owner, he gives you a demo of some of the things you can make - his enthusiasm is amazing!! A must see when visiting Tokyo.

This was a really fun stop for us! We got to meet the master himself, and he showed us some quick origami, which he could do without even looking. We bought one of his books, which he autographed. The prices are affordable, and we were showered with free origami gifts for coming. A word of warning - none of the employees here spoke English much, if at all, so be prepared for that. I would highly recommend this though!

We got lucky enough to be there when the owner (and his wife, I believe) were doing a demonstration. He happily walked us through some "paper magic", played and bequeathed many small origami gifts. Hard not to come away humbled by the kindness and good spirit. The museum and gift shop both have some beautiful origami, plus an amazing paper dying factory on the top floor. Cool to see all that's possible with paper and dye, it looks more like a fixable fabric than paper the way it's used there.

Amazing historical museum for origami. A must visit place for any crafter or fan of art & paper goods. Beautiful informative books in the gift shop. Workshops sometimes available in both Japanese and English. Watch them make beautiful sheets of oragami paper. I'm so happy I discovered this place on my trip. Thank you!

Love this place, small simple, yet full of origami art and tradition. We were treated with a surprise with a chance to learn from the director 🥰. There is a workshop upstairs that shows how the paper is colored. I personally really enjoyed this place after meeting the staff and learned from them.

Very lovely origami museum, with many different things happening. The paper drying section was very interesting and then the origami master came out and did a demonstration for us! It was very cool. We also bought his origami book and got his signature inside it. A very nice gift shop with many papers and origami things to buy. Would definitely recommend stopping by.

One of the highlights of my travels around Japan. The staff are very friendly. Seeing an origami master at work was amazing! He produced piece after piece without even looking! There were some children visiting and they were having a great time, very accessible for them.
