Concept
"The spring garden, the lustrous crimson; girl who appears standing on the path, beneath the gleam of peach blossoms." This song in Man'yoshu, Japan's Premier Anthology of Classical Poetry, was composed upon viewing the peach blossoms in the vernal twilight. Rediscovery of beauty in traditional craftsmanship; here is the "bell ornament", bringing quality time as beautiful as the lushfull moment of the spring garden.
