Bento Box Size, Convenient for Travel
Many will recall the visually striking sushi series by graphic designer Taku Satoh, which debuted in 2008 and garnered significant attention. This series has received numerous accolades, including the SILVER award in the Poster category at the 88th NY ADC (The Art Directors Club), the JAGDA Award 2009, and the PLATINUM award at the GRAPHIS Poster Annual 2010.
This visual series draws a parallel between PLEATS PLEASE and sushi. It embodies concepts such as being compact and easy to handle, visually beautiful and colorful, representing an innovative idea unparalleled in its field, and being loved by people worldwide—all expressed with elegant simplicity.
The sushi, presented in bento box-sized packaging, comes in six varieties. Tuna nigiri, sea urchin gunkanmaki, and tekkamaki are ingeniously transformed into accessory pouches, mini drawstring bags, and pleat bands. Each item is highly practical and makes for a perfect gift.
Customers who purchase an item will receive a complimentary handkerchief printed with the visual (while supplies last).
