The designer, OKA Hideyuki, left an enormous footprint in the world of “design” together with the word “TSUTSUMU (to wrap)” as he continued to study traditional Japanese packaging and collect various related items in the dawn of “design” in Japan. We would like to introduce the feelings Japanese have given to the deed of “TSUTSUMU” and the beauty of packaging techniques, through OKA’s collection housed in our museum that portrays how he viewed the Japanese packaging with natural materials such as wood, bamboo, straw, clay and paper.
