The glass float emerges from the sea and displays a beautiful colored school of young new fish it has seen on its travels during the Spring Season. Along with the ball you will see fresh tulips, beautiful aggets, and of course kite flying on a crisp windy spring day.

The mark placed on the glass float is the hiragana symbol “ha”. The ocean company who created this float was one of the largest fishing companies in Japan before World War II and is the largest company today. This glass float began as a clear glass float but over the years water was captured inside the ball and caused it to turn a cranberry color.
