When you hear the word wind chime, many summer patterns such as goldfish, fireworks, and morning glory come to mind, but in reality, each one is basically meaningful. Here, I will introduce the meaning of wind chimes with photos. In addition, it is currently possible to translate into 4 languages, so overseas people can also see it.
Various Edo Fuurin
Some Edo wind chimes have different sizes and shapes, and in the photo, they are called small circle type, new child circle, and bell type from the left. The sound differs depending on the shape and size. The small circle type and Shinko circle produce a light sound, and the bell type produces a deep sound.
