This photo was taken at the Kawasaki Daishi Fu-ring Market with a striking composition of a gray daruma wind bell with its back to us, which makes us imagine where it is gazing. The Kawasaki Daishi Fu-ring Market, held at the onset of summer, is a deeply rooted and popular event in Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture. About 900 kinds of wind chimes are gathered from all over Japan, and various materials such as glass, ceramics, and iron make cool sounds as they sway in the wind. Walking along the approach to the shrine, visitors feel as if they are surrounded by a curtain of sound, creating a magical atmosphere. Especially popular are daruma wind bells and those shaped like animals, with their adorable appearance and unique tones. The combination of the main hall and the five-story pagoda is the perfect situation for a summery shot. Please visit to enjoy a rich moment where coolness and tradition are in harmony.
