Packaging
The packaging design for Kanade, a premium Japanese craft liqueur, draws from traditional aesthetics to reflect the product's refined, natural taste. Inspired by the concept of harmony, the design uses custom washi paper with glossy fibers, creating contrast between matte and subtle sheen for a tactile, artisanal feel. Watercolor illustrations and handwritten calligraphy enhance the handcrafted impression, while a custom typeface adds a modern yet culturally rooted identity. The result is packaging that bridges tradition and contemporary sensibilities for global appeal.
