Tsutsumu - The Art of Japanese Packaging

Documentary on traditional Japanese forms of packaging for foods, confections and drinks which use natural materials-paper, straw, bamboo, rope, and wood. The original "eco-friendly" way things were done before modernization-nowadays everything is cloaked in 2-3 layers of cellophane and plastic.
In Japanese with some English subtitles, but worth watching even if you can't understand the words. "Shizen" means Nature, you'll hear that one a lot. This was made from a VHS tape which was given to me by my packaging design instructor at the Sozosha College of Design in Osaka in the late 1990s.
