This multistorey exhibition space and workshop is dedicated to this quintessentially Japanese art. In a shop/gallery on the 1st floor and a gallery on the 2nd, many of the works are so sculptural you’d mistake them for wood, and with patterns so intricate you’d mistake them for fabric, while on the 4th floor is a workshop where visitors can watch the process of dyeing and painting of origami paper. Although admission is free, origami lessons (offered most days in Japanese) cost ¥1000 to ¥2500 for one to two hours, depending on the complexity of that day’s design. First-timers would do well to try for a class with the centre’s director, Kobayashi Kazuo. It’s best to request a reservation by email when you know your schedule.
