A small piece of Japanese summer for the window, the entryway, or a quiet corner of the patio. This black goldfish furin (Japanese wind chime) is from 薬師窯 (Yakushigama)'s なつかし屋 すずかぜ (Natsukashiya Suzukaze / 'Nostalgic Cool Breeze') summer series — a sculpted ceramic black goldfish with gold-leaf scale accents hangs above a white bell painted with a classic Edo-style 金魚図 (kingyo-zu / 'goldfish scene'): red goldfish swim through green hornwort and thin blue water-flow lines. Below the bell, a bamboo-paper tanzaku catches the breeze and rings the bell with a soft, clear summer tone.

Designed by Yakushigama (薬師窯) / Natsukashiya Suzukaze series in Seto City, Aichi Prefecture, Japan; produced in China for Yakushigama; curated by ZenKiln

🏮 About the design

Yakushigama (薬師窯) is a Japanese ceramics brand based in Seto City, Aichi Prefecture — one of Japan's historic 'Six Ancient Kilns' pottery regions. The Natsukashiya Suzukaze series gathers Yakushigama's summer motifs (goldfish, Shiba dogs, penguins, seasonal florals) into small, giftable furin pieces meant to bring a moment of cool seasonal atmosphere into the home. The goldfish (金魚 / kingyo) is a beloved Japanese summer icon — historically associated with wealth, good fortune, and the cooling visual presence of water during hot months.

🌿 Use

  • Hang in a window, by an entryway, on a covered porch or balcony, or in a quiet indoor corner where a small draft can find it
  • Best for sheltered indoor or covered outdoor use — the bamboo-paper tanzaku is not waterproof
  • Pairs naturally with other small Japanese summer decor — fans, glass mobiles, ceramic ornament shelves
  • A small giftable size — easy to pack, easy to hang anywhere

🎁 Gifting
