A gentle summer chime, hand-crafted in Edo tradition
Soothing sounds to relieve summer heat. Edo furin popularised during the Edo Period 1603 and 1868 are crafted of hand-blown glass and hand-painted decoration. The gentle bell signals the presence of a summer breeze, an auditory cue that relief has arrived. A creative solution that inspires psychological cooling as well as physical cooling in the presence of the breeze.
Edo Furin are individually crafted of hand-blown glass, in the absence of a mould and display an irregular opening to elicit varied high and low tones that, combined with the natural movement of air, offer an audible comfort to oneself.
The Waves "Seigaiha” is a traditional Japanese wave pattern formed by repeating arcs that resemble overlapping ocean waves. It symbolises calm seas stretching endlessly into the distance, and is associated with peace, continuity, and a wish for a stable and prosperous life.
Often used on kimono and everyday textiles, seigaiha expresses the hope that gentle waves — and good fortune — will continue far into the future. A timeless pattern that carries a quiet sense of harmony and balance.
