Description
The COCHAE Folding Message Card Set – Ori-kokeshi is inspired by kokeshi, the beloved wooden dolls from Japan’s Tohoku region. Each sheet lets you fold five different kokeshi designs, each with its own gentle charm and character.
Turn the paper over and you’ll find a side perfect for writing—making it easy to write, fold, and gift all in one flow. Whether you’re sending a thoughtful note or creating something to display, it’s a quiet, hands-on way to share a little warmth and tradition.
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.
