This photograph captures the wind chimes lined up on display at Kawasaki Daishi's Fu-ring Market, swaying in the wind, creating a scene with summery sound and movement. Kawasaki Daishi, a popular tourist attraction in Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture, holds a wind-bell fair every summer, a popular seasonal event that attracts many people from all over Japan. More than 900 kinds of wind-bells from all over Japan are gathered in the precincts of the temple, and they are made of various materials such as glass, ceramics, and metal. Whenever they are shaken by the wind, various tones echo through the air, bringing coolness to visitors. The unique wind chimes with daruma dolls and animal motifs are especially worth seeing, and are also popular as a photo spot. The co-starring of the historical architecture of Kawasaki Daishi and the wind chimes is truly a spectacular “summer-only” view. The Fu-ring Market is perfect for family outings, summer dates for couples, and photo trips with a camera in hand, and is sure to provide a relaxing experience.
