Dear origamists!
What is the best paper to use without glue or pre-treatment ?
In some 4-5 years ago, when I was newbie in the art, origami paper in Vietnam was rare, so hard to find a fine piece of paper to fold without treatment. At that time, Crumpled Paper was the most used, but it is not strong enough for complex models. Dó was still not more than a painting paper, if you like to fold it, you would have to treat them skillfully.
But how can a newbie do these skillful technique when they are just new?
I thought about that question many, many times at the beginning. We always want to spead the art, so that anyone can know it, can do it. But when a newbie meets a hard problem, we tend to say "do it yourself, make it yourself, learn it by yourself !".
That's been a big problem that I used to have and almost all young new members of origami society in Vietnam are having. They cant even find a shop to buy paper now.
For that reason, I've been developing a shop for selling my papers made using my own experience and recipe . I tried to give to my customers the best papers that they want, tried to develop the papers at high level as possible.
The papers, that a young student can buy (or sometimes I gave them free papers for their good result in school studying) , the papers that a newbie can fold without using any hard technique like processing with MC, or making duo tissue, .... The paper, that a non-experience person like an old lady, can do a beautiful origami.
I also made papers, that can be folded well without glue, like Ricy Tissue, Duo Foil, Processed Unryu or Hotudo Dó papers, ...
All of the above are for just one reason - for helping and spreading the art.

And as I wrote, you dont have to do any thing, any treatment before folding my papers, even without glue or water.
