: You need extremely thin but strong paper, such as Wenzhou , Single Tissue , or O-Gami . Many folders treat the paper with methylcellulose (MC) to add crispness and strength. Can’t copy the link right now
: Many experts use double tissue paper treated with methyl cellulose (MC) for extra strength and "memory". Kraft Paper
The four corners of the square paper host the most dense concentrations of creases.
Buy a pre-cut square of Washi (Japanese handmade paper) that is at least 70cm. Anything smaller, and you will tear the head off trying to shape the horns.
The Ryujin 3.5 requires a very large, strong, and thin sheet of paper. The most recommended material is Krafts paper (often found in large rolls) or Tissue Foil for easier shaping, though it makes the pre-creasing harder. Paper Size: You should start with a square that is at least
