Kofuda
A little art. A collection of connections.

Developed by AdvancedEase K.K. Ateji is a creative interpretation of a name by sound, not an official translation or legal spelling.
CREATE · EXCHANGE · COLLECT
Your card is part of something together.
Start with your own name, then trade cards with friends and family. Cards you create and receive both count toward a set. Each new piece brings another name, another memory and a picture closer to completion.
Four cards. A picture to complete.
Collect Sakura in Bloom, Waves & Plovers or Pine & Cranes. Bring all four parts together, then share your completed collection as one image.
Creating linked cards requires the one-time unlock. Received cards can be saved and exchanged for free. Both created and received cards count toward progress; duplicate parts count once.
Learn how to collect linked cards →
A card to keep. A memory to share.
Add a private note to a received card and remember who shared it with you. Browse created and received cards in My Collection, and flip a card to see its Kofuda back.
