I purchased this template and the western template as well. I also got the mini envelope Japanese version. I love all three! I believe that I love this template best! Such a neat precise template and it uses the paper very efficiently. Because it is so precise you can usually get more than one envelope out of a piece of paper. Because of the shape of this envelope, it is a little different from the western template, It is much easier to assemble. Also I find that it fits the shape of many different things. I have been using it to make envelopes for a friends wedding. She wanted envelopes to put in her invitations that had a hand made feel to them. This was perfect to accomplish that. She also used the Mini envelope maker to make gift envelopes for her wedding party. This template would make fantastic donation envelopes! This template works great with all types of paper. I use Newsprint, Butcher paper, Cardstock, and even Christmas wrapping paper to make envelopes. I just love using this template. This template will pay for itself in very little time. Because you can make 4 different sizes you have access to envelopes at any time. No running out to find envelopes when you run out. Just make yourself one. the sizes are clearly indicated.

I bought this to make cool envelopes to send to my friends. This template works well, but be careful: it can get pretty addicting/meditative!

Is very easy to use. I love it! Now I want the western edition...

I LOVE this template. It's got 4 sizes and the plastic is nice and sturdy. It doesn't bend, so your pencil won't stray from the lines. :) The ONLY "downside" to this template is the layout. It's at an angle. If you're using patterned 12x12 paper to make envelopes (like I do), your pattern on the larger sizes is going to be diagonal.

This Template is so much fun to use. I use it in conjunction with the Nichiban Adhesive Dot DS Professional Tape - 8.4 mm X 13 m tape dispenser. These two items together make envelopes so easy you will never buy another. I use Origami paper, Wrapping paper, Christmas papers, and even scrapbooking papers. Heavy Cardstock is good to use as well! I love that it has 4 sizes in the template as well. Recently I made cards and needed Envelopes to send them in. I used standard 8.5X11 and folded in half the biggest template did not fit. So what I did was take the size of the folded card, traced the size onto a cardboard and then took the template and improvised by placing the template at each corresponding corner then traced part way out to the point then met the two lines in the middle with the point of the template making an custom envelop from this ever so useful tool!
P.S. you will love the ohto pen cutter to cut the lines after you trace them. its so efficient you never have to lift the paper to cut the the envelope out. http://www.jetpens.com/Ohto-Retractable-Pen-Style-Ceramic-Cutter-Silver-Body /pd/8352

Kinda expensive, kinda indispensable.
