This lively and summery photo shows colorful Daruma wind chimes swaying and dancing in the wind at Kawasaki Daishi's Fu-ring Market. The "Fu-ring Market" is held as an annual summer event at Kawasaki Daishi, a famous temple in Kawasaki City, to cool and soothe the hearts of visitors. The grounds of the temple are filled with several thousand wind chimes of about 900 varieties collected from all over Japan, each with its own local flavor and craftsmanship. Each material, such as glass, ceramics, and iron, has a different tone that resonates with the wind, giving visitors the sensation of walking through a tunnel of sound. The most eye-catching of all are the wind chimes with unique motifs such as Daruma, Fuji, and animals. The wind chimes are not only visually striking, but are also very photogenic, attracting attention on social networking sites. The beautiful composition of the main hall and five-story pagoda seen through the wind chimes is a scene unique to this event, blending tradition with a sense of the season. It is an ideal spot for an outing with family and friends, as well as for making summer memories and taking a photo walk.
