The delightful designs on each bell are unique – the artwork is inspired by everything from native birds and sleeping kittens to spring flowers.

How are ceramic wind bells made?
Each bell is hand-crafted and hand-painted in traditional Imari style by skilled craftspeople. In ancient times, to maintain Nabeshima Ware’s status as an elite gift, the techniques used by the potters to produce the porcelain were a highly guarded secret. The surrounding mountain landscape allowed the Nabeshima clan to guard the kilns and keep the potters from escaping so the production methods weren’t leaked.
