Product Description

The Original Cast Iron Japanese Furin Wind Bell is a Japanese Cultural icon. The distinctive quality of it's sound distinguishes it from traditional western wind chimes which can sound like a clatter where the Furin has a single, resonant sound that has been described as "clear, cool and other-worldly". Characteristic of Japanese minimalism concentrating on one single sound rather than a jumble of different sounds. The sound of the Furin is an alpha-sound which is a sound found at the first state of sleep or meditation. It is the most natural calming sound known to the ear. This sound has been proven to reduce stress, enhance creativity, improve mood, expand awareness and provides people with a natural sense of balance and buoyancy. Alpha is also the home of the window frequency known as the Schuman Resonance 7.*3 Hz, the resonant frequency of the earth's electormagnetic field. As you attune to the frequency of the earth you feel at one with yourself and the universe, an integral part of brain-wave therapy.
The Furin is used in Japan in summer to suggest the coolness of a breeze and can often be seen in public spaces during the long summer months. Usually hung on porches or eaves it is a truly sooting and peaceful sound conducive to daydreaming or meditating, invoking a relaxing and near mystical feeling. It is an integral part of the Japanese landscape and cultural make-up conjuring images and memories of summer for the Japanese people. Please visit our website at furinista.com for more information including a video of the Original Furin Wind Bell.
