Summer Collection

夏コレクション

Summer in Japan begins with the warm, humid rainy season of tsuyu that starts in May in the southern regions, travelling across the archipelago towards Tohoku until it ends in July. Once tsuyu comes to an end, the hottest months of the year arrive along with seasonal outdoor events to make the most of the clear skies, and cooling activities to handle the heat.

Explore the Summer Collection, featuring the cooling sounds of the brass wind chimes hand-cast in Takaoka City, delicate paper uchiwa (hand fan) from Kagawa Prefecture and handwoven igusa (rush grass) bags for carrying watermelon from Okayama Prefecture.
