COCHAE – Nippon Origami Book

Discover traditional Japanese motifs through the playful graphic world of COCHAE.

This origami book contains 24 illustrated designs inspired by Japanese folk toys, characters, animals and seasonal traditions. Unlike conventional plain origami paper, the sheets are printed on both sides, allowing the illustrations and patterns to become part of the finished object as you fold.

Among the designs you will find daruma, hyottoko and okame masks, Kintaro, tanuki, goldfish, sparrows, shishimai, traditional toys and other familiar motifs from Japanese culture.

The finished origami can be displayed around the home, given as small gifts or simply enjoyed as a creative paper project. A charming introduction to Japanese origami and folk culture for both children and adults.
