A traditional Japanese wind chime, fuurin. These chimes are traditionally used during the summer - their sound is supposed to bring refreshment during the hot and humid season.

On the top, there are two independently moving long, thin fish; below, there is a small bell.
Despite its small size, it produces distinctive, clear notes.
Two types available:
(Type 1) is made entirely of cast metal. It has a hook in the shape of a knotted rope and bell decorated with net pattern.
(Type 2) The fish are made of synthetic material. The bell is metal. It is slightly rusted inside, but still sounds beautifuly.
The original paper strips, propelling the chime, is included.

The paper strips are slightly damaged. Both the paper strip and the strings can be easily changed if necessary. The parts can be used separately.

Sizes
Fish 15-19cm wide, 3cm tall, 0.5cm thick
Bell ca 4x4x4cm
