Founded in 2003, Cochae is a two-person graphic design unit, founded by Yosuke Jikuhara and Miki Takeda.
Since its beginnings, Cochae has explored the theme of "playful design" - producing origami full of graphic design elements, with the mantra "Make origami pop more!"; their work using vibrant colours and bold shapes, which come together in a collision of Japanese tradition and contemporary art.
Cochae's Tokyo-inspired origami card book features 24 types of origami, ranging from the iconic imagery of modern-day Tokyo, to quaint motifs reminiscent of the Edo period. From sento to sumo, subways to Tsukiji tuna - this colourful collection embodies the essence of Japan. The paper can also double as miniature letterhead, meaning that adults and children alike can have fun with this unique origami book.
