Commission : KOKORO GIN

THE BOTTLE OF FORESTIAL HEART

British Gin with a Japanese heart. Created with organic Sansho berries from the Afan Woodland in the Japanese Alps. Kokoro: it means ‘heart’ in Japanese. Not the literal, beating heart, but the soul and essence of a place. Koshu wrote the symbol on the front and creates the sound of Ko ko ro in the Hiragana phonetic alphabet, that received a Gold Award for design in 2018. Koshu also created the paintings of the Mountains of Aizubandai in Fukushima on the bottles of liqueurs brand Kokoro.
