Hinomaru, meaning “The Red Sun,” is a conceptual light sculpture inspired by the samurai sword (katana), symbolizing strength and elegance. A red light softly glows and moves like the setting sun, evoking calm and reflection. Rooted in the wabi-sabi philosophy, it finds beauty in simplicity and impermanence. Made from glossy black laminated bamboo and set on a wooden base, it harmonizes nature and modernity. Powered by a replaceable battery. Hinomaru is a poetic fusion of light, silence, and Japanese spirit.
