The origin of the wind chimes was a bronze wind taku hanging on the four corners of the temple, and it was believed that the sound could be heard was a sanctuary and no disaster would occur. When the wind taku is hung on the eaves, the name changes to wind chimes.

In the Edo period, wind chimes changed from evil to coolness, and in conjunction with Western culture, glass was born.

Wind chimes include Edo wind chimes and southern wind chimes.

Glass wind chimes, which are cool from the appearance, have a device that jagged the mouth and played a beautiful natural sound. Wind chimes made from dense castings are characterized by high and clear sounds, unlike light glass sounds.

In addition, there are various types such as metal and ceramic, and the sound is healed not only by the sound but also by appearance.

Opportunities to see them at the eaves are gradually decreasing, but in recent years there have been some products that suit your lifestyle, such as those with low noise in consideration of the neighborhood and those that are also enjoyed as interior interiors.

Why don't you take in the wind chimes well and enjoy the cool summer?
