Chime / Furin Why the popularity of the furin? Japan has hot and humid summers. The little bell was a soothing and cooling sound that announced refreshing breezes were about to flow through their well-ventilated homes. The furi has become an important part of Japanese culture. There is even an annual Furin Fair that attracts 200,000 visitors. The Furin Fair attracts Japan's second highest number of visitors and features over 25,000 wind chimes. |
