[Gincat]

Those are gorgeous. I would totally collect those, I wish they had stuff like that here in the States. Are those yours, Modillustr?

 

[modillustr]

Thanks you Gincat,
Yes, I brought them back like a "gift for myself" from Japan, I returned at spring this year, but because at this season, they load "drink machine" with "cold "rather than with "hot"drink I only found another new one.But it was a "bottled cans" and the image was very small.

Japanese like the sound of some foreign words, they write them with a special alphabet called "katakana".
Under the image of the can of the middle of the picture, it's written:
カフェオレ it's pronounced "ka-fe-o-re(le)" ...the french "café au lait"

Should you like I post images of the others cans in this thread?

 

[Gincat]

Oh absolutely post them!

Mucha's artist studio and at work

Thanks for those beautifuls posts, blackangel41999 and somethingelse.
When I see a painting in a place or in an exhibition, and if I have seen a portrait of the artist before, I always imagine him(her) working at his painting.
Here are some Mucha's one.

Thanks for sharing all these photos, modillustr
It looks elegant for a drink can! And they chose good background colours too
I wonder what デミタス　de-mi-ta-su means...
I can see the last one is Kilimanjaro; and there is another called cappuccino

Glad you appreciated those cans, Gius!
And your knowledge in japanese "katakana"s is good!
"de-mi ta-su" means "demi tasse" in french (half cup?)
From left to right: "ka fe o re" (cafe au lait),"de-mi ta-su"(demi tasse),"ka-pu-tchi-no","ki-ri-ma-n-dja-ro"
