Inspired by Kyoto’s Gion district,
this snow globe captures the timeless charm and atmosphere unique to this historic area.
Centered around the scenery of Tatsumi Bridge, one of Gion’s most iconic spots,
the design brings together the gentle flow of the Shirakawa River, the stone-paved Tatsumi Bridge, softly swaying willow trees along the riverbank, and rows of traditional Kyoto townhouses, all arranged into a single, harmonious scene.
An elegant grey heron standing by the river and a white cat resting among the townhouses add a quiet sense of story.
The beautiful springtime avenue of Somei Yoshino cherry blossoms is expressed through delicate pink powder gently swirling inside the globe,
capturing the soft and tranquil atmosphere of spring in Gion.
