In a project spanning 12 years, these awamori liquor bottles are designed in collaboration with Miracle-kun, the 11-year-old illustrator prodigy from Okinawa, featuring the Oriental zodiac’s 12-year cycle of animals for each year. Follow the growth of the young artist through the 12 years with each bottle. They are perfect as lucky charms to decorate the home’s entrance or living room, or as gifts for New Year or for someone special who is starting a new chapter in life.
