SYMBOL OF KIRIN

Decorative image
The Kirin is a creature from Chinese mythology. It is described in books on folklore as having the body of a dear, the tail of an ox, and the hooves of a horse, with a single horn on it's head and a pelt of five colours.
According to legend, this amazing animal refuses to step on living planets and will not eat living things. Considered a harbinger of auspicious events, a Kirin is said to have appeared at the bedside of the mother of Confucius as she was about to give birth to her son.

As a symbol of well-being and good fortune, the Kirin was an ideal choice for the label of Kirin beer.
