In this photo, Daruma wind chimes of various expressions and colors are blowing in the wind at the Fu-ring Market at Kawasaki Daishi to create a scene of movement in a single shot. The Fu-ring Market at Kawasaki Daishi, a famous temple in Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture, is a summer tradition that attracts many visitors every year. About 900 kinds of wind-bells collected from all over Japan are gathered in one place, and visitors are surrounded by healing and excitement as each one plays a cool sound. Visitors can enjoy the interesting changes in the sound that can be made from different materials, such as glass, ceramic, and iron, and walking through the aisles is like stepping into a sound tunnel. Wind bells with Daruma or animal motifs are especially unique and popular as photogenic subjects. The beautiful composition of the five-story pagoda and the main hall also makes it a great place for social networking and a memorable photo. Why not spend a special summer time at Kawasaki Daishi?
