Yamamaru Wind Chime

Description

Curator’s Notes

An interpretation of Japanese wind chimes that are often found at temples with prayers written on the paper slip. We think the slips look great blank as well! The make a crisp chiming sound in the wind so be sure to hang them somewhere that receives a nice breeze.
