Germany🇩🇪 x Japan🇯🇵 craftsmanship collaboration

Jacobi 1880 and UKIYO-E PROJECT have produced one of a kind ukiyo-e, which is going to be the new bottle label for Jacobi 1880’s brandy. This collaboration was born from the resonance of ukiyo-e craftsmanship with Jacobi’s commitment to brandy making. The artwork also features the vineyards of Germany, where the brandy originates, as well as the Kleinheppacher Kopf.

The craftsmanship of ukiyo-e artisans and their passion and dedication to the art of Jacobi’s brandy-making share common ground. The label illustrates German vineyards in a Japanese aesthetic style.

The artwork, inspired by Hokusai’s works, utilizes the printing technique known as “ten-bokashi,” mainly used for depicting skies. This technique creates a gradient of moss green, effectively portraying the dreamy landscape of morning mist.
