最高級茶用のギフトパッケージデザイン。焼付け塗装缶が主流であったお茶市場で、最高級品にふさわしい手法として、電離分解による「毛彫り」の再現手法を提案しました。
当時、化粧品のコンパクトケースの一部にしか採用されていなかったこの手法を、江戸の職人が約一ヶ月をかけて彫りあげた原盤をもとに、円筒缶全体に贅沢に使用しています。
伝統の技術と老舗の品位がデザインによって結晶化した商品です。
The gift package design for highest quality tea. To introduce the new technique to the market predominated with an enameled can, reproduction technique of "hair line engraving" by electrolytic resolution was found.
The technique, applied only a part of cosmetic market at that time, was proposed to have an entire surface of a canister covered with it. A traditional Edo style craft man was commissioned to work for a month on an original plate based on a draft. With all motifs of tea shrubs, the left picture shows the design developed in early stage, the middle picture shows the one developed in the second phase, the right picture shows the one in the third phase currently in the market.
