Conceptual Design:

Each partner can place his or her object in her room . Our intimacy objects consists of a teddy bear and glass dome that contains cherry blossom petals.  When a partner thinks of the other person, he or she squeezes the hand of their teddy bear which sends a signal to their partner's glass dome. A simulated current of air will make the petal move inside the glass dome. The simulated movement of the petals will bring back the couples memory of walking and holding hands through cherry blossom's fields. If the partner is next to the object, he or she will be able to see it and reply to the signal, indicating that as a couple they are not only thinking of each other but also keeping a tradition that the couple has alive.
