Dear Keinan, Although I’m not the best person to fully and conclusively answer your question, I would suggest you check this options:
1. Origami-shop.com <http://origami-shop.com/> run by Nicolas Terry. There is a paper named Alios Kraft, which is advertised as one of the thinnest papers and the pictures that accompany the paper show several origami insects. It is strong and as thin as bible paper (28 grms/ square meter) 2. Also, people have been using double tissue with a coat of MC (methyl celulosa) which you can learn how to make and use by watching YouTube tutorials. 3. Some of the finest pieces I’ve seen where you can’t even tell if there is a coat on the paper or not, are those made by Kade Chan. Here at the Musuem of Origami in Colonia, Uruguay, have two pieces by him (Alien and Gryphos) that were made out of “architecture paper”. I’m sure he’ll be happy to tell you more about the paper he used. 4. Paper that has been very popular is Michael LaFosse handmade paper. Not sure if he’s still making batches. Nicolas Terry had some. Gorgeous paper, different colors, but for Ryujin you may need to add some “substance” (foil?) to give it body, volume. 5. Check the series written by Ilan Garibi about paper qualities. It’s available in The Fold (OrigamiUSA online magazine) and also in Sara Adam’s website. It tells you the quality and uses of mostly every paper known by origami artists. There is a comparison chart too. 6. Talk directly with people who have been making tissue foil for extraordinary complex figures. There are many and you can find their names and/or contacts in Flickr, Instagram or Facebook. Don’t be shy to connect directly with them. Hope this helps, Kind regards Laura Rozenberg Director Museo del Origami in Colonia www.museodelorigami.org <http://www.museodelorigami.org/> > On May 12, 2020, at 2:59 PM, Keinan Weissberg <kei...@neopatent.com> wrote: > > Hello, my name is Keinan Weissberg.
