In the heat of high summer, the sight of colorful Japanese irises sprouting along the water’s edge offers a welcome reprieve for the senses. Distinctive in shape and hue, these beloved flowers sway softly in the warm breeze, their reflections rippling on the surface of the cool water below.

AI NO KAZE is named after a northern wind that brings cool air from the sea in summer, and also plays on the Japanese words for “love” and “indigo”, the color of irises. Capturing the intensity and beauty of an idyllic summer scene, engravings of magnificent irises and their blade-like leaves sweep across the surface of the band. AI NO KAZE conveys the wish that you will enjoy a future as rich as a gorgeous summer day.
