The wind chime Furin Ume is a small work of art made of cast iron, which harmoniously combines tradition and a love of nature, as well as sound and aesthetics. With a diameter of 54 mm and a height of 38 mm, it is one of the smaller FÅ«rin in our range.
Its shape is modeled on a plum blossom (ume). The ume blossom is a powerful symbol of renewal and resilience in Japanese culture. It often blooms in winter, embodying the transition to spring and the beauty of the moment, which is prized in Japanese aesthetics. Its delicate flowers represent not only hope and new beginnings, but also the deep connections between people and nature.
Historically, furin (fūrin) wind chimes were used in temples to drive away evil spirits and promote positive energies. They are deeply rooted in Japanese culture and represent the transience of life – a concept known as ‘Mono no aware’. Each ringing of the wind chime is a fleeting moment of beauty that reminds us to appreciate the moment.
Ideal for your living room, garden or balcony, this wind chime brings a special atmosphere to your surroundings. Each of these wind chimes is handcrafted and unique, bearing witness to traditional craftsmanship.
The Furin Ume wind chime is manufactured by the OIGEN Foundry in Japan – a traditional producer of cast iron goods (Nambu-Tekki) that was founded in 1852.
