A limited-edition that pays tribute to the Ryusui-Hyakka (One Hundred Flowers and Flowing Water). This bottling celebrates the blooms, colours and shapes of seasonal flowers that make the Japanese year so special. The design motif depicts 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. Jon Potter, Managing Director of the House of Suntory, explains "This specially designed bottle is not only a continuation of that artistic statement, but it also honours Hibiki and Suntory's ethos of living in harmony with nature. It's a philosophy that could resonate with the world more than ever, especially in 2021."
