Kamawanu Furin Wind Bell Clear / Blue Birds

Description

A gentle summer chime, hand-crafted in Edo tradition

Soothing sounds to relieve summer heat. Edo furin popularised during the Edo Period 1603 and 1868 are crafted of hand-blown glass and hand-painted decoration. The gentle bell signals the presence of a summer breeze, an auditory cue that relief has arrived. A creative solution that inspires psychological cooling as well as physical cooling in the presence of the breeze.

Edo Furin are individually crafted of hand-blown glass, in the absence of a mould and display an irregular opening to elicit varied high and low tones that, combined with the natural movement of air, offer an audible comfort to oneself.
