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

#ThePresentation of Design #Swiss #3bottles
Scherenschnitte (German pronunciation: [ˈʃeːʁənˌʃnɪtə])
which means "scissor cuts" in German, is the art of paper cutting design.

The artwork often has rotational symmetry within the design, and common forms include silhouettes, valentines, and love letters. The art tradition was founded in Switzerland and Germany in the 16th century and was brought to Colonial America in the 18th century by Swiss and German immigrants who settled primarily in Pennsylvania.

“Let's enjoy the beautiful things we can see, my dear, and not think about those we cannot.”

Coca-Cola and BAPE have linked up once again, this time with a refreshing new take on the iconic coke bottle. The collab arrives complete with bespoke packaging and graphics.

When you think about the early 2000s and the wave of Japanese export that took the world by storm, you’d often see roves of BAPE camo adorning anything from sweaters to soda cans. And this new collaboration between Coca-Cola and BAPE is bringing all that back.

Back again after 3 years, the two giants have linked up again to give us a take on the iconic coke bottle. Arriving in completely bespoke packaging and graphics, the collaboration takes on the slim 250 ml aluminium, unique only to the Japanese market. BAPE chimes in with two signature designs created around the classic Coca-Cola imagery and colours.

On one bottle, BAPE’s iconic APE HEAD is situated beneath the company logo, set against a red FIRST CAMO backdrop while the second bottle features. Baby Milo sipping a coke on a plain red background with stylized “A Bathing Ape” branding beneath.

Both BAPE bottles are available now, exclusively via Amazon JP.
