Thank you for visiting us today.

We have a wonderful inventory of origami books and paper, sumi-e (brush painting) supplies, and hundreds of Japanese papers for arts, crafts, and gift wrapping.

When in San Francisco come and visit our store – located in Japantown on the outdoor pedestrian mall one block north of the landmark Peace Pagoda of the Japan Center. In the meantime, give us a call if we can help you find the supplies you need.

Please check back with us in the coming months as we add many of the great products we carry in our "brick and mortar" shop in San Francisco.

'ORIGAMI in the Gallery'

Come see our newest exhibit, DRAGONS! From the Millennium Origami Dragon Design Challenge.

dragon

The Millennium Dragon Challenge was held in 2000, to celebrate the Year of the Dragon. A contest was held at the Pacific Coast Origami Conference, which was held in San Francisco and sponsored by Paper Tree. These dragons have been exhibited in New York, in Charlotte, NC and have recently been returned to San Francisco. Over 100 dragons were submitted from countries all around the world, including Russia, Columbia, Japan and Hungary. The exhibit features original works as well as 'replicas'. The rules: Dragons can be folded from any material, with no cuts.

The Exhibit runs from May 11 - September 30, 2009

Also in our Origami Gallery, WALL-E! Held over for the Summer ( he likes our store), origami WALL-E and his buddy, the cricket. He's made friends with the Starship Enterprise, the Star Wars and Klingon vessels and the Space Shuttle. They are out of this world!

2009 Northern California Cherry Blossom Festival

This year, the Paper Tree celebrates it's 42nd year of participation in the San Francisco Cherry Blossom Festival.  In 1967, as part of the festival's Cultural Arts, sisters Vicky Mihara Avery and Linda Mihara sat at a table demonstrating Origami in front of Paper Tree's original location in the Japan Center.  Through the years, the Origami exhibit has grown to include live demonstrations, amazing exhibits and tables staffed with volunteers who teach simple origami models to festival goers.  It's the only inter-active exhibit in the festival. 

This year, the Origami exhibit and demonstration will take place during April 11-12, from 11AM- 5PM, at the Hotel Kabuki, 1625 Post St, in Garden Room A.  Catch our new exhibit, 'ORIGAMI in the Gallery' at our store location at 1743 Buchanan Mall.

Vicky Mihara Avery won runner up at the 2007 Scotch Brand Most Gifted Wrapper Contest in New York City.
