About
The characters 「千の風」 on the label were written by Mitsuru Arai, and the background design is by the late Yasuro Suzuki, who was known for the former JNR Discover Japan campaign and the posters for the Nagano Olympics, among other works. The background depicts the twelve zodiac animals. Like the imagery of the poem Sen no Kaze ni Natte (A Thousand Winds), human life is fleeting, yet as one becomes earth and wind, life continues to circulate.
