Wind-bells hanged from the eaves of shop front

Glass wind-bells were hanged from eaves of a glass-shop in Otaru, Hokkaido.
Each of wind-bells has a different clear sound. When I hear such clear sound, I feel coolness. We have many varieties of wind-bell or wind-chime called Fu-rin (風鈴)in Japanese.
The image above shows the wind bell made from glass, but, copper, bronze, porcelain and steel made wind-bells are also common. As for more detail about Fu-rin, you can refer also to the essay written by Mr. Walter J. Humphery.


Thank you for your viewing. I wish you a wonderful week.
