Furin

In Japan, the sound of a Fūrin is closely associated with summer. Its gentle ringing reminds people of cool breezes on warm days. For many, it brings a sense of peace, comfort and hope. A small reminder that even on a hot summer day a better breeze is coming

Furin : The Sound of Hope

A Fūrin is a traditional Japanese wind chime. During the summer months, Fūrin can be found hanging from homes, temples, gardens, and shop entrances throughout Japan. As the wind passes by, it creates a gentle and refreshing sound. A Fūrin consists of a bell, a clapper, and a paper strip called a tanzaku. When the wind moves the tanzaku, the bell gently rings.
