Owara Kaze no Bon' wind chimes by Nousaku

In Japan, wind bells are an integral part of summer: their soft, clear sound is perceived as soothing and refreshing on hot days. The design of this brass wind chime refers to the traditional festival "Owara Kaze no Bon", which is celebrated every year in Yatsuo (Toyama Prefecture). During the festival, women dance with large straw hats - their shape is reflected in the silhouette of the bell.

The bell is made by casting and then carefully finished by hand. This creates a particularly pure, long-lasting sound with individual characteristics. The interplay between the gentle tone of the brass bell and the paper floating in the wind has a calm and meditative effect.

The Nousaku foundry was founded in Takaoka in 1916 and is still family-run today. Objects made of brass and bronze have been produced there for four generations using traditional sand casting techniques. The design focuses on the natural properties of the material and precision craftsmanship - each piece is finished by hand and is unique.
