Limited-Edition “JAPONICUS RHUM AGRICOLE” with Special Kumamoto University Label (IMAGE)
Caption
The limited-edition label design draws inspiration from Kagoshima, where the rum is distilled by Oishi Shuzo Co., Ltd. using locally sourced sugarcane. The artwork blends the image of Kagoshima’s beloved “shirokuma” (polar bear) motif—symbolizing regional sweetness—with Kumamoto University’s bear emblem (“kuma” means bear in Japanese), depicting a friendly polar bear in a cocktail glass. The soles of the bear’s feet subtly incorporate shapes representing both Kumamoto and Kagoshima prefectures, expressing regional collaboration. Vibrant fruit motifs highlight the rum’s fruity character, while the yellow and deep indigo color scheme reflects Kumamoto University’s official colors, creating a design that is both playful and distinctly university-inspired.
