Premium Japanese-style product poster in 16:9 landscape format, editorial design showcasing kiwi juice skin packaging concept with sophisticated visual storytelling:

LEFT SIDE (40% of canvas):
- Hero product: One large kiwi juice skin package displayed vertically with dramatic soft lighting, showing ultra-realistic kiwi peel texture wrapped around rectangular container, fuzzy brown skin with thousands of fine visible hair-like fibers covering entire surface, rough natural texture, brown color with subtle variations, looks exactly like real kiwi skin stretched over package
- Below: One cross-sectioned fresh kiwi showing vibrant green creamy flesh with black seeds radiating from white center
- Japanese typography vertically aligned: "キウイスキン" (Kiwi Skin) in elegant thin gothic font
- Subtitle: "果汁皮肤 / 猕猴桃" in refined style
- Small design philosophy text in Japanese

CENTER (30% of canvas):
- Generous white negative space (Ma - 間)
- Minimal geometric elements: delicate thin lines
- Floating text: "自然な素材" (natural materials)
- Subtle minimalist brand mark
- Very subtle kiwi fuzz texture pattern in background (low opacity)

RIGHT SIDE (30% of canvas):
- Two kiwi juice skin packages arranged artistically at different angles and heights
- One whole fresh kiwi with natural fuzzy brown skin
- Typography: "Natural Packaging / 自然な包装"
- Tagline: "The skin is the package / 皮膚が包装である"
- Detail callouts pointing to fuzzy hair texture

DESIGN PRINCIPLES: Abundant white space, asymmetrical balance, Wabi-sabi aesthetic, Muji/Noritake editorial minimalism
COLOR PALETTE: brown kiwi tones, pure white background, bright green accent from flesh
PHOTOGRAPHY: Soft diffused studio lighting, ultra-sharp macro details showing fuzzy texture, photorealistic rendering
CRITICAL: The kiwi skin packaging must look incredibly realistic - actual organic fuzzy brown texture with thousands of tiny brown hairs, rough natural appearance, NOT plastic
