Traditional Japanese symbol of summer: Ceramic wind bell Furin Faceless spirit Kaonashi!
This character from famous Hayao Miyazaki film “Spirited away” is called Kaonashi - Faceless spirit (カオナシ - no face).
Product Description One of the symbols of summer in Japan is the Furin (風 鈴 ), wind bell made of glass, ceramics or metal. The refreshing sound of these bells helps people escape (or at least make them feel like it) the hot and humid Japanese summer. Originally imported from China, these pleasant sound making bells have been a standard feature of summer since the Muromachi period. (1333- 1568).
This furin makes a gentle tinkling sound when the wind blows. Lovely in the garden or entry way and doubles as wall décor.
This is perfect for any Ghibli anime Lovers!
