OOBUKU-CHA

滋賀県民なら誰もが知っている千紀園のCM。 千紀園のお茶や抹茶スイーツへのこだわりは並々ならぬものがあり、この度、その千紀園の大福茶のパッケージデザインを担当させていただきました。 大福茶(おおぶくちゃ)はお正月に無病息災と幸せを願い飲むお茶です。 千紀園と言えば鶴のマークなので、デザインにはあえて亀でいこうと早い段階で思いました。 鶴と亀があるとさらにおめでたい感じがするためです。 最初は具象的な亀の絵も描いてみたのですが、抽象的であるほうが良いと思い、デザインを抽象化しました。 大福茶の文字の周囲にある六角形の形が亀をイメージしたものなのです。 蓋をあけると千紀園の鶴が蓋の内側に現れるようにしました。 袋タイプの方も、缶のプロポーションをそのまま投影したデザインとしました。 Everyone in Shiga Prefecture is familiar with Senkien's commercials. Senkien's commitment to tea and matcha sweets is extraordinary, We are pleased to announce that we are now in charge of the packaging design for Senkien's Daifuku tea. Daifuku tea is a tea to be drunk at New Year's to wish for good health and happiness. Senkien is known for its crane logo, so I decided at an early stage to use a tortoise in the design. The reason is that having a crane and a turtle on the tea makes it look even more festive. At first, I tried drawing a figurative turtle, but I thought it would be better to make the design abstract. The hexagonal shape around the word "Daifuku-cha" is the image of a turtle. When you open the lid, we made the Senkien crane appear inside the lid. The design of the pouch type is also a direct projection of the proportions of the can. https://shop.senkien.jp/fs/senkien/c/goodfortunetea I designed the package for Senkien's Oobuku tea. Oobuku-cha is a tea that is drunk on New Year's Day to wish for good health and happiness. Senkien is known for its crane symbol, so I decided to use a turtle for the design. I decided to use a tortoise for the design because I felt that having a crane and a tortoise would make the tea more festive. It is available at the main store, Kintetsu Kusatsu, and on line stores.
