Onigawara is derived from Greek Gorgoneion.
Greek Medusa, Japanese ONI "Japanese demon".
Both are installed on the walls and gardens of the house and are treated as guardian deities who watch over the house / building from the outside.
This item embodies a request from a Japanese temple.
I want you to make a wind chime that is not noisy with Onigawara.
It is a product made by Onigahara craftsmen of a company with a history of over 100 years.
The material is clay-like material baked at 1120 degrees.
It takes about one month to complete, including shaping and drying.
How about a cute palm-sized "Onigawara wind chime" designed by a demon master (Onigawara craftsman) on the windowsill or at the eaves?
Even though it is small, it is an onigawara that has the meaning of amulet, so it is a lucky charm to prevent evil.
"Onigawara is a talisman that has been put on the roof in the hope of people's happiness."
With that in mind, I think Onigawara may be suitable for various situations in our lives.
By covering the small iron wind chimes with spherical onigawara, we have created a "quiet sound wind chime" that suits modern lifestyles and is easy to decorate even in condominiums.
The color of this product is called "Ibushi silver" color, which is the color produced by firing in a kiln after firing.
It is not colored with glaze, it is the original color of Ibushi tile.
Since it is hand-finished by the demon master after press molding, it is made by the same manufacturing method as the real demon tile, even if it is small.
You can feel the charm of Onigawara, which you do not usually see nearby.
* The sound of the wind chime is only faint even on a windy day.
