Japanese Wind Chimes - Tōrō (Lantern) Furin in Black

Immerse yourself in the tranquil essence of Japanese culture with our Tōrō (Lantern) Furin wind chime. This exquisite piece combines the soothing tradition of furin with the iconic design of Japanese stone lanterns, creating a unique and elegant decoration for your home or garden.

"Furin" (風鈴), meaning "wind bell," has been a beloved element of Japanese summers for centuries, known for its ability to create a cooling psychological effect through its delicate sound. The "Tōrō" (灯籠) design, inspired by traditional Japanese stone lanterns often found in temples and gardens, adds a touch of timeless elegance to this wind chime.

Crafted with precision from high-quality cast iron, this small Tōrō Furin features a detailed miniature lantern at both the top and bottom of the chime. The upper lantern serves as a decorative element, while the lower, larger lantern functions as the resonating bell. Between them hangs a sleek, dark tanzaku (短冊) card, creating a visually striking vertical composition.

Legend speaks of stone lanterns lighting the path for spirits, guiding them to temples and shrines. This Furin embodies that spiritual essence, serving as a symbolic light in your daily life, its gentle chime reminiscent of temple bells carried on the wind.

The substantial weight of 480g ensures a rich, resonant tone when moved by the breeze. Its compact size (8.5cm diameter x 8.5cm width x 7.5cm height) makes it versatile for various hanging locations, from your porch to an indoor alcove.

Whether used as a meditative aid, a decorative accent, or a thoughtful gift, this Tōrō Furin represents the perfect blend of traditional Japanese aesthetics and functional artistry.
