  • Cast Iron
  • Made in Japan

A cast-iron double-bell wind chime by Ikenaga Tekkō (池永鉄工), continuing the 400-year tradition of Nambu Tekki iron casting in Iwate Prefecture. The two bells produce a harmony of high and low tones — a sound recognized in Japan's official “100 Soundscapes to Preserve for Future Generations” (環境省, 1996).

Made by Ikenaga Tekkō / Nambu Iron in Iwate Prefecture, Japan, curated by ZenKiln

✦ Cultural Anchor

Nambu Tekki (南部鉄器) has been continuously cast in Iwate Prefecture since the 17th century. The craft was designated a Traditional Craft Industry of Japan (伝統的工芸品) by METI in 1975. The Nambu furin's distinctive ring is included in the Japanese Ministry of the Environment's 1996 selection of the 100 Soundscapes of Japan — sounds the nation deemed important to preserve.

✦ Where to Hang

  • Veranda eaves (engawa) — traditional placement
  • Balcony, patio, garden gate
  • Open window for indoor cross-breeze
  • Tea-room or genkan (entryway) for a quiet seasonal accent
