This one-of-a-kind bottle was designed to represent what’s described as the vital force of Japan’s everchanging twenty-four seasons of the lunar calendar.

According to the House of Suntory, since its introduction in 1989, the Hibiki bottle has been presented with 24 facets. The design symbolizes the 24 hours of a day, as well as the 24 seasons of the year in the traditional Japanese lunar calendar.

The 2021 limited edition pays tribute to the Ryusui-Hyakka (One-Hundred Flowers and Flowing Water). The design motif epitomizes the cyclical passage of time, showcasing the blossoms of the Japanese twenty-four seasons juxtaposed with the ever-changing flow of water that connects one passing season to another.

The Hibiki bottle celebrates the many varied blooms, colors and shapes of seasonal flowers of the Japanese year. An appreciation for the seasons and a sensitivity for the passage of time accounts for the Japanese culture’s sense of harmony with nature. In tune with Suntory’s philosophy, the design bottle series is described as the next iteration of the brand’s pursuit of harmony.
