An experimental metal work for a jewellery collection called, Twenty-four Seasons based on the ancient Japanese calendar. We have very distinctive four seasons in Japan and a year is divided further into 24 Seasons, called Niju-shi sekki. Still to this modern period, we have many traditional customs and events according to the Niju-shi sekki calendar.

The season when the heat gradually intensifies. The custom of writing wishes on tanzaku (small strips of paper) during the Tanabata Star Festival on the 7th July is said to originate from the practice of grinding ink with night dew collected on the leaves of taro plants. People would then write poems on Kaji (a deciduous broadleaf tree) leaves, expressing a wish for improvement in waka poetry and calligraphy skills. The culture of making wishes through such charming traditions is fascinating. The pendant, crafted from brass, copper, and silver, is designed to resemble the form of a tanzaku.
