The furin is a traditional Japanese wind chime symbolizing summertime. During hot and humid days, its refreshing sound brings relief. This blown glass furin is handmade and hand-painted in Japan. It is designed so that the glass is thicker at the mouth, which improves its timbre.

The decorative motifs of these furin often represent seasonal elements such as fireflies that glow on summer nights, with their magical, summery touch.

Tradition has it that a poem or wish is written on the cardboard weather vane (tansatsu) to be carried away by the wind. When it is damaged by the weather, you can make another one.

Since glass furin are fragile to impacts, we recommend using them in places sheltered from strong draughts. Their size and colour may vary as they are completely handmade.
