- Opera audiences and Japanese craft enthusiasts
- Worth noticing
- Puccini’s score names “campanelli giapponesi” but does not specify an instrument; the project selects the Japanese orin.
Field notes
The page describes the orin as a ritual instrument struck with a short baton, with attention directed to its fading resonance, or yoin. It pairs that explanation with score excerpts and photographs, then lays out a project timeline spanning workshop visits and a prototype presentation. The planned 2027 staging is not yet assigned a venue or date.
