I am a Kakumaru Wind Chime. I'm gonna chime in with a great idea I've been pondering! How about you hang me in your home under that awning?

Curator's Notes

This wind chime is a thoughtful reimagining of the Japanese chimes that are often found at temples. Traditionally, the paper slip would have a prayer written on it, but we think the slips look beautiful blank as well! When a breeze blows against the length of paper, the chime rings with a bell-like tone. I can’t convey the sense of tranquility that comes from that gentle sound!
