Packaging Design Kotori Packaging by Shun Kudo Kotori is a packaging design for a Japanese charm that carries a personal message. The name Kotori combines the Japanese words Kotoba, meaning word, and Omamori, meaning charm. A bird symbol represents a carrier pigeon that delivers and protects the message. The charm bag is made of Nishijin brocade woven in Kyoto. The bag rests in a paulownia wood box lined with a straw-like wooden cushion that resembles a bird's nest, and the box is closed with an original band. A small letter card holds the written words.
