Read from the label art by Hop Grail. Fields checked against the approved label. How we get this data

The artwork

A bustling Japanese street festival scene fills the entire label, rendered in pen-and-ink with hand-colored watercolour washes in cream, yellow, red, green, and black. A traditional torii gate and pagoda anchor the composition's upper third, while dragons, a maneki-neko cat, and dozens of figures in period dress populate a tiered marketplace below, with lanterns strung overhead and storefronts lining the sides. The beer name appears in bold red katakana on the left edge within a vertical cartouche, with additional branding in English and Japanese scattered throughout the scene.
