   It’s somewhat brave to leave so much white space on packing cases. They’ll be covered in rubbing marks by the time they’re transported to customers.

   What tranquil-looking beer bottles! But actually, “kanji” means Chinese characters. The Japanese writing system has three scripts, and Chinese characters are one of them.

   “But actually, “kanji” means Chinese characters.”

   Anctually, no. The chinese characters are called “hanzi”. Kanji are (simply put) hanzi used to write japanese words. But kanji can differ from hanzi both in the way they are written and in the way they are combined.

   Better to be covered in rub marks than lousy graphics.

   I agree with Larry, rub marks or not, the white design makes a pretty powerful statement. So many of the beer packages out there (and packages in general) are filled with useless graphics that end up cheapening the design.

   I was curious and looked up the kanji, it means “blessing” or “grace”.
   I wondered if they used a calligraphy artist for the brushstroke, it’s cool to know they did.
