Origami Kaikan

By now you've probably encountered origami cranes – the most iconic example of the quintessential Japanese art of paper folding. To see how much more elaborate the art form can get, visit the gallery here on the first two floors. On the 3rd floor, demonstrations often take place, and there are lots of gorgeous papers and how-to books (English ones included) for sale. Original origami paper is made in the 4th-floor workshop, where you can take a peek.
