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

In the Edo period, wind chimes changed from evil to something that feels cool, and together 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 jagged mouth and have a natural and beautiful sound. Wind chimes made from dense castings are different from light glass tones, and are characterized by high and clear sounds.

In addition, there are various types, such as metal and ceramic, and it is healed not only tone but also to look.

The opportunities to see it at the end of the eaves are gradually decreasing, but in recent years, items that suit your lifestyle, such as those that have a low sound that considers the neighborhood and those that can be enjoyed as interior interiors, have been made.

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