Japanese Sakura Furin Wind Chime in Cast Iron – Pink

The Japanese Sakura Furin wind chime is made from cast iron and decorated with numerous stylised cherry blossoms. Its semicircular bell shape and pinkish-red finish with lighter floral motifs give it a particularly decorative appearance. Made in Japan, this wind chime combines the traditional sound of a Furin with one of the best-known motifs in Japanese culture.

The bell has a diameter of 6.5 cm and a height of 5 cm. With a net weight of approximately 175 g, it is a compact wind chime that can be hung in a sheltered location. The movement of the clapper produces a metallic ringing tone.

Sakura – the cherry blossom in Japan

The cherry blossom (Sakura, 桜) holds a special place in Japanese culture. Its brief flowering period in spring has been celebrated in art, literature and poetry for centuries. It traditionally symbolises beauty, impermanence and the changing seasons.

While cherry blossoms are primarily associated with spring, Furin wind chimes are familiar symbols of the Japanese summer. This model therefore brings together two characteristic elements of Japanese everyday culture.

Furin – traditional Japanese wind chimes

In Japan, Furin (風鈴) are particularly popular during the warm summer months, when they are hung by windows, beneath the eaves or on verandas. Their sound is traditionally associated with a gentle breeze and a feeling of summer freshness.

Furin are made from various materials, including glass, ceramic and metal. Cast iron models are distinguished by their characteristic metallic sound and the possibility of decorating their surfaces with sculpted ornaments.

The Sakura wind chime is suitable as a Japanese decorative accent in an entrance area, by a window or on a covered balcony. It should be hung so that the clapper can move freely. To protect the surface, a location without prolonged exposure to moisture is recommended.
