Our wind chime product is made of iron by “Hidukuri”, very traditional forging method of Japan.

Products of “Hidukuri” have unique looks because of their handcrafted method by artisans. You can feel tradition and profoundness compared to mass-produced industrial products.

In “Hidukuri” medhod, iron is heated upto 1200℃, almost the melting point of iron, followed by hit into mold to make its shape. By hitting, density of the iron become uneven, therefore artisans heat the product again to appropriate temperature, then leave it in ash for a couple of days to make its condition stable.
