The COCHAE Design Paper – Kyoden Chiyogami reimagines historic “Komongawa” patterns from 1790—originally recorded by Edo-period artist and writer Santō Kyōden—carefully reproduced and softly recolored by COCHAE. The result feels both timeless and gently contemporary, honoring tradition while inviting quiet creativity. The set includes Type A and Type B, with 12 designs in total. Inside, you’ll find 18 sheets (6 designs × 3 sheets each), along with clear folding instructions—perfect for slow, thoughtful making. A beautiful choice for origami, paper crafts, or simply appreciating the subtle elegance of Edo-era patterns. Who is COCHAE? A creative trio—Yosuke Jikuhara, Miki Takeda, and Saya Kanno—Cochae has been exploring the idea of “playful design” since 2020. Their roots go back to 2003, when they began crafting graphic origami with the hope of making paper folding feel a little more pop, a little more fun. Today, their work extends far beyond origami. Cochae develops toys and lifestyle goods with fresh, thoughtful perspectives, while also engaging in product planning, exhibitions, and hands-on workshops. In recent years, they’ve also created package designs, including the beloved Okayama specialty Kibidango from Yamagata Eijudo.
