Origami paper commonly comes in 15cm x 15cm squares, but it's also available in various other sizes.

Origami paper, especially "kami," which translates to "paper" in Japanese, is a popular choice for folding. While 15cm x 15cm is standard, you can find it in a range of sizes to suit different projects:

  • Smaller Sizes: Helpful for intricate details or miniature models.
  • Larger Sizes: Suitable for complex folds or larger finished pieces.

Though specific dimensions can vary by brand and region, some frequently available sizes include:

  • 7.5cm x 7.5cm (approx. 3 x 3 inches)
  • 10cm x 10cm (approx. 4 x 4 inches)
  • 15cm x 15cm (approx. 6 x 6 inches)
  • 20cm x 20cm (approx. 8 x 8 inches)
  • 25cm x 25cm (approx. 10 x 10 inches)

In addition to square paper, some origami artists also use rectangular sheets for modular origami or other specific purposes. Ultimately, the size you choose will depend on the complexity and scale of your origami project.
