Passed down through generations, traditional Japanese origami—such as the yakko, shuriken, crane, fukusuke, and frog—has no known inventor. These timeless designs spread naturally “from hand to hand” among everyday people, and today, they remain widely recognized as the starting point for learning origami.
Though once enjoyed in daily life from the Edo to Taishō eras, many of these forms are now folded only in educational settings.
COCHAE, known for adding playful and artistic twists to origami, now revisits these classic, untouched traditional models. With fresh designs and vivid expressions, they breathe new life into these forms—transforming them into something both children and adults can rediscover and enjoy anew
