Minimalist Approach to Deliver Japanese Taste

We designed the candle label taking a minimalism approach to show off the Japanesque look by combining the essential elements.

Embracing Wagara: Incorporating Traditional Patterns

We chose one of the traditional Japanese patterns (Wagara) and put it as a background. The pattern represents hemp leaves geometrically. Also, we selected the background color, inspired by “Aizome,” the Japanese natural indigo dyeing.

Kanji as Graphic Elements: A Hieroglyphic Approach

In this design, the neat kanji characters demonstrate their nature as hieroglyphs. In other words, they serve more as graphic elements than as characters that note their meaning.

Minimalism Meets Japanesque: Crafting Aesthetic Harmony

The label took a minimalist approach to effectively show off the Japanesque feel by combining the essential elements, namely, the traditional pattern, kanji characters, and the brush-drawn circle.

Color Palette Inspired by Japanese Indigo

The color choice, inspired by the natural shades of “Aizome,” plays a crucial role in enhancing the design’s connection to Japanese aesthetics, creating a soothing and authentic visual experience.

Balancing Tradition and Modernity in Label Design

Our design philosophy was to balance traditional Japanese artistry with modern minimalism, thereby crafting a label that is both visually appealing and deeply rooted in cultural heritage.
