Furin Bells in Japan

Japanese Furin bells were born from the Chinese temple guard bells of Futaku. The original bells were made of bronze, and their purpose was to warn of danger and protect against evil forces. In ancient times, it was believed that strong winds would bring with them epidemics that would spread across the land. Futaku bells served as a warning and prevented the epidemic from spreading.

Over time, due to the development of the glass industry in Japan, the bronze bells became the beautifully decorated glass Furin wind chimes as we know them today, shaped like a bowl and with a paper wind catcher that makes them ring out even in a slight breeze. They are hung on the corners of houses and temples, emitting a soothing melodic sound and their paper wind catchers catch even the slightest gust of wind, thus visualizing the breeze even on hot summer days.
