Time is a packaging design created for a moisturizing facial mask. The box opens like a book, so the pages can be turned from the first to the last. The artwork uses a water beast from ancient Chinese mythology and colors taken from the Dunhuang murals. The outer package measures 200 mm long, 110 mm wide and 50 mm thick. Degradable paper is used as the main material. A UV brightening treatment and repeated embossing add contrast to the dark background. The design links traditional culture with a modern cosmetics brand.

East Travel

The cap is shaped after water ripples, a reference to the high quality water used in brewing. The label is made of special paper, and the illustration and the product name are bronzed. The outer packaging is made of pressed bagasse, the fibre left after the sugarcane is fermented, a material that degrades naturally. The design draws on Chinese folk culture and on traditional brewing methods.

Shangri La

Shangri La is a packaging design for a series of three red wines. The labels use traditional Oriental ink painting textures to suggest the flow of wine and the trunk of an old vine. Placed side by side, the three packages form one winding trunk. Each package carries an animal from the producing area: a butterfly for air, a fish for water and a pika for soil. The labels are made of kapok paper with a rough surface, and embossing forms the texture of old bark. The design draws attention to traditional art and to the natural environment.

Tanaka 1789 X Chartier Sake Blend 001

Tanaka 1789 X Chartier Sake Blend 001 is the packaging for a series of sake blends. The label carries a black on black grid pattern inspired by the walls of the Tanaka Brewery, an example of Kura architecture from the Edo period. The grid is printed as varnishes around the bottle and is sequenced into a series of hexagons, a symbol of aromatic science. Black and white are used because both brands feature these colors, and black bottles are reserved for premium sake. The two names are joined in a cross pattern through a shared letter A.
