Designer's Comment

”KICCA BELL” is designed in the image of a chrysanthemum flower. In fact, this design is inspired by the Japanese passport. The chrysanthemum flower expressed in gold could be directly expressed in brass.

In addition, not only chrysanthemum flowers but also side designs are also imagined by the honeycomb structure that is often found in nature. This hexagon (regular hexagonal), which is also found in snow crystals, turtle shells, and bee nests, indicates structural stability and toughness. This KICCA BELL also includes the desire to have many people use it for a long time.
