Iwachu Furin CV-075 Cast Iron Wind Chime – Gold

The Japanese Furin CV-075 wind chime by Iwachu is distinguished by its elegant bell shape and gold-coloured finish. Its gently curved, wavy rim gives it a distinctive silhouette. The understated design avoids elaborate decoration, allowing the shape and warm colour of the cast iron to stand out.

With a diameter of 4 cm and a height of 5 cm, this model is among the smaller Japanese wind chimes. Despite its compact dimensions, the cast iron gives it a net weight of approximately 105 g. As soon as the wind sets the clapper in motion, the characteristic metallic tone of a cast iron Furin can be heard.

Iwachu – Japanese cast iron craftsmanship from Morioka

The manufacturer Iwachu is based in Morioka, in Japan's Iwate Prefecture. The company is known for its cast iron products, which follow the tradition of Nambu Tekki. Alongside teapots and practical household items, this regional craft tradition also includes decorative objects such as Japanese wind chimes.

The CV-075 combines this cast iron tradition with an understated gold-coloured design. Its gently rounded shape resembles a small bell-shaped flower, with a rim that opens outwards in several curves.

Furin – the sound of the Japanese summer

Furin (風鈴) are traditional Japanese wind chimes, particularly popular during the summer months when they are hung by windows, beneath the eaves or on verandas. In Japan, their sound has long been associated with the idea of a refreshing breeze on hot days.

Unlike Furin commonly made from glass, cast iron models produce a metallic ringing tone. The shape and material influence the sound characteristics of each wind chime.

The gold-coloured Iwachu CV-075 makes a subtle decorative accent by a window, in an entrance area or on a covered balcony. To allow its sound to develop fully, it should hang freely so that the clapper can move without obstruction.
