RESEARCH ABSTRACT: This product has a design based on the symbol of Hiroshima and the atomic bombed train. It is hoped that this will arouse interest in the message of peace and Hiroshima's history, contributing to peace efforts and raising awareness of Hiroshima. These effects will contribute to the environment, revitalize local communities, promote tourism, and raise awareness of peace.
CHALLENGE: "The most challenging aspect was creating the package on a single A3-sized sheet of paper. It was necessary to reduce costs. The problem is how to create an appealing package design using just one sheet of paper. Specifically, it was difficult to manually create the layered and staircase-like structure of the paper. By making holes, you can show the material of the towel.
