Bird Call – Sound Poetry Cast in Metal

A gentle twist – and a soft, lively chirping begins to echo.
The bird call from Koizumi Seisakusho is more than just an object – it is a piece of Japanese poetry, cast in finely textured metal and supported by a base of untreated natural wood.

Each piece is lovingly crafted by skilled artisans – with precision, rhythm, and a sense of life. The delicate sound evokes the voice of nature – a subtle way to attract birds into the garden or to bring a quiet, lively presence into any indoor space.

The Characters of the Bird Calls

Machibouke (待つ鳥)
A quiet, patient bird, waiting with hope for the return of its companion – a symbol of loyalty and longing.

Raichou (雷鳥)
A round, lovingly shaped ptarmigan – the symbolic and protected bird of Toyama Prefecture. Gentle and grounded.

Yasooi (装い鳥)
A bird that preens itself with refined elegance, carefully arranging its feathers – a symbol of mindfulness, dignity, and self-care.
