Japanese Artist Turns Product Packaging Into Amazing Art (12 Pics)

Japanese artist Haruki, better known as Twitter user @02ESyRaez4VhR2l, recently gained Internet fame when he posted his artwork on the social media platform. What was the key to his success? He masterfully transformed used Japanese snack boxes into realistic figures!

His artwork has a name in Japanese and it is called “Kiries” or “Kirigami” – the art of paper-cutting. Kirie is more associated with traditional Japanese art, but Haruki re-adapted it to his personal, more pop-like style.

Scroll down and see his skillfully crafted packages, which now look like works of art!

    I am a Brazilian digital artist who loves transforming imagination into hyper-real visuals. I work with artificial intelligence and image editing to create what I always wondered as a child: how would our favorite characters look in real life? Over time, many of my artworks have gone viral and were featured in international publications. I have recreated realistic versions of cartoon characters such as Disney and The Simpsons, imagined how celebrities who died young would look today, and even gave modern faces to historical figures like Mona Lisa or Shakespeare. Beyond entertainment, I created Para Não Esquecer, a social project that revisits memorable criminal cases in Brazil. My goal is to honor victims, keep memory alive and remind society that justice and empathy matter. I also write for Bored Panda, where I create articles featuring artists, photographers, rescue stories and feel-good moments from around the world. My work aims to highlight creativity, kindness and emotional storytelling. In everything I do, my purpose is the same: to touch hearts, evoke emotion and make people feel something real.

    I’m not trying to be deliberately negative, but every 3D object in the world is made of pieces that have been cut from something else. If you’re amazed by this, you should be amazed by every thing around you.
