    Let's Make a Mask! Nishimura's Mamemaki Bolo

    This packaging, which is designed like a wooden measuring cup, becomes a “demon mask” when the sleeve is cut. Rengo aimed to create a package that by itself would allow friends and families to enjoy bean scattering (mamemaki) together, and that would catch people's attention on social media.
    This packaging was designed to enhance the attractiveness of the product not only by standing out at seasonal store displays, but also through its ingenious design which makes the packaging itself something that can be played with.
