- Project Brief: Create bottle label packaging that reflects Hushō’s home fragrance collection and its focus on stillness, nature, and sensory rituals.
A bottle label packaging system carries the whole sensory promise of a fragrance before the cap comes off. MONOGRAPHIK® DSGN's work for Hushō treats each variant as a miniature woodblock landscape, anchored by a hand-drawn animal inside an arched frame.
Three scents share the same architecture and swap the world inside it. A sparrow sits among cypress and stone for Hinoki Air, a koi leaps through bamboo and iris for Kyoto Rain, and an antlered deer stands among autumn maple and pagodas for Temple Smoke.
Hardware stays restrained against the illustrated density. Frosted square glass, matte black collars, and black reeds let the artwork carry the shelf, and the outer boxes mirror each label through a tall arched die-cut window.
The wordmark runs as a quiet sans-serif Hushō with a macron over the o, paired with the Japanese line 静けさを香りに underneath. Scent notes sit in small caps beneath each name, so the front face works as both art piece and product spec.
