" I want to capture the beauty of ephemeral soap bubbles."

Soap bubbles are universally loved, and their ephemeral nature is part of their charm. They are incredibly beautiful, especially when they float in the air. So, I thought of creating a wind chime that would hover in the air just like soap bubbles.

Meticulously crafted sound

Fluttering in the wind, the sound it produces is unique to glass, gentle and soothing. You might even find yourself dozing off, guided by its soothing tones.

Handblown by Japanese artisans: Every piece has unique color & sound

The rainbow wind chime are handblown by artisans from a Japanese workshop called Sugahara, founded in 1932 and specialized in handcrafted glass.
