The fūrin (風鈴), or Japanese carillon. This word is composed in Japanese of the ideograms "wind" and "bell". This wind chime is a traditional Japanese decorative item. It is most often made up of a small bell attached to the frame of a window and which rings in the force of the wind.

Traditional forms are usually ceramic. We gladly hang a small piece of paper (tansatsu) on which is written a haiku.

The Japanese chime is usually made of metal, glass or earthenware. Wood, brass or aluminum are sometimes used as basic materials.
