I miss the days when summer vacation was about relaxing and hanging out with friends. Now it’s all about working and squeezing your friends in when you can.

Furin (japanese wind chime)
These are typically made from glass, metal or ceramics and when suspended in the breeze, a tongue dangling in the center of the bell strikes the sides of the bell and delivers a pleasant sound. The enjoyment of Furin sounds become popular among the general populace during Muromachi era (1336 - 1573) Furin hung under the eaves to provide a sense of cool in summer became the custom.

Furin has its origin in China about 2000 years ago. Later, a group of Buddhist priests brought some back to Japan along with Buddhism.

One may after see them hanging down from each center of a temple roof. It was believed that when people used it as a charm to avoid ill fortune, no disaster would ever befall them within hearing distance of the bells. It was not until the Kamakura period when the great Buddhist Saint Honen named it Furei.

Afterwards the term Furei became Furin. Because the term uses the same Kanji Characters as Furei. The word "Furin" has been in use until today.

It appears that the first glass-made Furin made its debut in 1700.
