Blending Tradition with Contemporary Style
Yukka Origami, founded by artist Yukako Shibata, offers unique handcrafted origami accessories, earrings, and homewares. Each piece is meticulously created by hand using high-quality origami paper, then carefully varnished for weatherproofing and durability. Yukako’s work combines the precision of traditional Japanese craftsmanship with innovative, contemporary design. Her collections feature a wide range of motifs, from the iconic Japanese crane to abstract modern forms.
As a multi-disciplinary artist with a background in painting and sculpture, Yukako brings a unique aesthetic and refined sense of colour to each piece. Yukka Origami embodies the convergence of art, tradition, and modern elegance.
Yukka Origami frequently participates in craft makers' markets, as well as Pan-Asian and Japanese markets and conventions. Products are available for purchase online through Instagram, with an Etsy store coming soon. Follow Yukka Origami on social media for updates on new designs and upcoming events.
In addition, Yukako leads origami workshops regularly in London and beyond, tailored for diverse audiences. These workshops include corporate team-building events, birthday parties, community centre activities, and members’ club events, among others. For more information about the workshop click here.
Please get in touch with us if you're interested in Yukka Origami’s products, or workshops, or would like to collaborate. Yukako looks forward to connecting with you.

Stockists & Collaborators
Yukako Shibata is a multi-disciplinary artist specialising in abstract and minimalist work, primarily painting and sculpture. Although her artwork does not feature overt Japanese cultural references, she has a deep love and appreciation for Japanese aesthetics. Seeking a way to stay connected to her cultural roots and share the beauty of Japanese traditions, Yukako founded Yukka Origami.
The inspiration for Yukka Origami came in 2020, during the pandemic, when she was inspired by her aunt's origami business in Japan. Through Yukka Origami, Yukako aims to introduce and spread Japanese culture while creating modern, wearable art.
