This wind bell is made of Nambu ironware in Iwate Prefecture in the Tohoku region, selected as one of the "100 Soundscapes to Japan" by the Ministry of the Environment as part of its efforts to combat noise pollution and to promote the protection of the environment. It has a more profound and relaxed sound compared to wind bells made of glass.
The sound of wind bells is the same frequency sound as the murmur of a stream, the chirping of birds, and other healing sounds found in nature. High-frequency sounds are said to have a relaxing effect. Each piece is carefully crafted to the detail by artisans.
Since they are heavy, please be careful not to fall on children's feet or other parts of the body. Also, since Nambu ironware rusts when exposed to moisture, wipe off any water on the wind chime with kitchen paper or a dry dish towel.
A paper strip for the wind bell is included in the box. Please attach to the wind bell after stretching it lightly. When the wind blows, the paper strip catches the wind and moves the clapper to produce the sound.
