There are plenty of elaborate displays, complete with backdrops

Of course there are lots of paper cranes

I don't rightly know what these are

This entire arrangement is made of paper

There are displays showing lots of different folds...

...and lots of different end products

The paper you choose makes a big difference to the outcome

The paper-dyeing workshop

Hear no evil, speak no evil, see no evil

Lots of paper for you to buy

More origami flowers

Just a few minutes from Ochanomizu station in central Tokyo, the National Origami Centre is what it sounds like, the place to go for anyone interested in paper-folding. There's a gallery with enjoyable displays of brightly colourful origami, a shop selling an eye-popping range of paper and books, some of them in both Japanese and English, and a paper-dyeing workshop. And if you want to learn origami for yourself, they also have regular classes.
