Ainu patterns on Coke bottles. Meet craft artist Sekine from Biratori

Starting in late March, Hokkaido Coca-Cola Bottling (Sapporo) began selling special Hokkaido-only bottles featuring an indigenous Ainu pattern in the design. The bottle design was crafted by Sekine Maki (53), an Ainu craft artist based in the town of Biratori in the Hidaka subprefecture. The design combines an Ainu pattern with a Hokkaido logo designed in the 1960s by her father, who passed away at the young age of 41. Sekine reports, “I am very glad that a product employing the logo my father left behind is being used.”

The Hokkaido-only bottle, which was first released in 2017, is now featuring its first Ainu pattern design. Hokkaido Coca-Cola Bottling hired Sekine to craft the design in order to promote Hokkaido culture against the backdrop of the Tokyo Olympics.

The center of the design is a logo resembling a map of Hokkaido composed of the three Japanese symbols that make up the word “Hokkaido”. It is encircled by a design that includes the Ainu “aiushi” curved thorn pattern. Sekine commented, “As soon as I started thinking about the design, the Hokkaido logo my father made when he was alive immediately came to my mind.”

Sekine’s father, Kaizawa Moriyuki, was born in 1935 in Biratori’s Nibutani district, and opened a folk craft shop in Nibutani in 1962. The Hokkaido logo on the new Coke bottles was originally designed for his shop uniforms. Kaizawa passed suddenly from a myocardial infarction in August 1977, when Sekine was 10 years old. Approximately 190 of his works are stored at the National Museum of Ethnology (Osaka).

Sekine creates art from her base in Biratori. When she has trouble with ideas for her work, she still looks at the sketchbooks her father left behind to help her think. She reminisces, “My father is my teacher, and he still resides in my heart today. I want many people to enjoy these bottles designed by my father and myself as a team.”

The Ainu or the Aynu , also known as the Ezo (蝦夷) in historical Japanese texts, are an East Asian ethnic group indigenous to northern Japan, the original inhabitants of Hokkaido (and formerly North-Eastern Honshū) and some of its nearby Russian territories (Sakhalin, the Kuril Islands, Khabarovsk Krai and the Kamchatka Peninsula).

Many forms of Ainu art, such as textile arts and woodworking, are known for their intricate and stylized patterns. In the case of clothing, these patterns are created through embroidery or through stitching appliqué patches on to the garment. The creation of clothing and fabric art has historically been considered an important task for women in Ainu communities, and many patterns and designs have been passed down along maternal lines for generations. For the Ainu, this ornamentation of clothing is not only for aesthetic enjoyment; these patterns have also been considered to have magical purposes such as to ward off evil spirits

Coca-Cola Amsterdam Tower Aluminum Bottle Netherlands 2017

The A'DAM Tower is an almost 100 meter high tower on the IJ river in Amsterdam-North. The tower was designed by the Dutch architect Arthur Staal in 1966 on behalf of Royal Shell. The building was therefore better known as "Shell Tower" by many Amsterdamers.In 2016, after a two-year renovation, the tower was renamed A'DAM Tower.

History 

Around 1965, Shell's management at the IJ Bank decided to build a new building for the management and general services of the Shell Laboratory. Arthur Staal was chosen as architect. Because the terrain was small, the new building should become a tower. Steel designed an office tower that is rotated 45 ° with respect to the IJ river. The tower derives its original name from Tower Overhoeks.

In March 1966, the foundation of a foundation on the second sand layer under Amsterdam began. The concrete used for the foundation floor was of poor quality and in July 1967 the floor was inflated with dynamite. Then a new floor was poured which was ready at the end of 1967. In 1971 the tower was completed.

In 2003, the Shell site was purchased by the municipality of Amsterdam. The residential area, which was developed on the former Shell site, was referred to this tower overhoeks.

In 2009, Shell left the office tower. This was then used as a temporary company collection. A large restaurant was opened in the former business corner next to the tower in 2013, in conjunction with the development of the adjacent Tolhui garden, which until 2009 was not accessible to the public.

In January 2014, it was known that this tower under the name of A'DAM, to a design by Claus and Kaan Architects, would be redeveloped into a combination of offices, nightlife and an observation point with a revolving restaurant. To this end, a major renovation of the facade would be necessary, replacing the typical glass window with a thin layer of gold. Since the mast has been placed on the tower it is about 100 meters high.

On May 14, 2016, the renovated A'DAM Tower was opened.
