Cast metal bell wind chime, designed by Japanese designer Oji Masanori for Nousaku.

The solid brass bell houses a thin clapper disk that produces a gentle whimsical ringing sound when a breeze moves the dangling cotton pom-poms. Can be hung indoors or outdoors and is perfect for any room in the house but is best experienced near a window.

Made in Japan
Brass Bell dimensions; Height 4.4cm,  Diameter 3.2cm
Pom-poms are attached to a brass disk that rings as it catches the wind and hits the bell, and hangs on a clear wire with a metal ring to hang from.

Please note this is an uncoated Brass product and will patina with age.

"In 1916 Nousaku began manufacturing Buddhist ritual objects, Japanese tea sets and vases made of brass and bronze in Takaoka, Japan. Casting is a manufacturing process in which molten metal is poured into a mold to form an object of the desired shape. Every Nousaku product starts with the creation of a sand mold and then undergoes several finishing processes. Hand-finishing by experienced craftsmen accentuates its material beauty and fineness."
