Inspired by the Art of Origami, Crafted in Japan to Express Infinite Possibility.

During Japan’s New Year (Oshōgatsu), origami adorned with auspicious motifs—cranes, turtles, and kabuto—brings meaning to decorations, children’s play, and gift-giving. That tradition inspires this special G-SHOCK collection, where ancient paper art meets modern durability.

These watches celebrate the boundless possibilities of origami: how a single sheet of paper, elevated by the invention of strong, beautiful washi, can transform into something extraordinary. Guided by a spirit of freedom and deep respect for craftsmanship, origami details are folded into every element—from bezel to band.

Look closely and you’ll find dotted line patterns that mark valley and mountain folds, along with a distinctive washi-inspired texture on the bezel and band. The LED backlight and case back reveal a crane, the world-renowned symbol of origami and good fortune.

True to the art form that inspired them, these exceptional timepieces are crafted in Japan and presented in special packaging infused with origami tradition—an expression of heritage, precision, and infinite creativity.
