Perhaps ordinary paper printed with washi-like patterns. True washi is stronger and more appropriate for connected-crane origami.

I don't think 10000 by me are in the future.
Very good. For miniature origami, Japanese foil-backed paper is better (needle tweezers and magnifying glasses too, of course), since it's thin and holds creases permanently (I tried a non-Japanese foil once. It held creases well, but was too thick and the foil easily flaked off folded edges). Some crazy people use purely metallic foil (like the kitchen variety): very thin, perfect for small folds, but hard to reverse-fold (sinks and unsinks are probably the worst maneuvers).
