Background about the Aensō brand

The AENSŌ

Aensō is derived from the Japanese word ensō, meaning "circle". The ensō symbolizes absolute enlightenment, strength, elegance, and the universe. Traditionally hand-drawn in a single, uninhibited brushstroke, it captures a moment of freedom and clarity, embodying the minimalism and harmony central to Japanese aesthetics.

This philosophy is at the heart of the Aensō line. Our products feature a minimalist design that emphasizes aesthetics and symmetry, complemented by the hand-drawn circle, which introduces an element of organic imperfection. Together, the bottles and labels exude elegance and cleanliness, reflecting a perfect balance between precision and spontaneity.

The circles

Each product in the Aensō line features a unique circle, ensuring that no two are ever alike. These circles were specially created by a skilled artist to embody the individuality and craftsmanship that define our brand. Using traditional Japanese ink and brush techniques, each circle was meticulously hand-drawn, capturing the spontaneity and authenticity of the moment.

Once completed, the designs were carefully scanned, vector-traced, and refined to ensure they retained their organic beauty while being suitable for modern production. This blend of traditional artistry and contemporary technology highlights the seamless harmony between heritage and innovation.

Today, the Aensō product line boasts a collection of hundreds of these one-of-a-kind circles, each ready to adorn our packaging. These unique designs symbolize not only the individuality of our products but also our dedication to artistry, precision, and the values rooted in Japanese aesthetics.
