Brass Wind Chime marumaru: Round Gold Japanese Furin | NOUSAKU

A round chime with a clear brass tone

About Nousaku

Nousaku (能作) is a foundry founded in 1916 in Takaoka, Toyama, a city whose metal-casting tradition goes back some 400 years. It began by making Buddhist altar fittings and now uses the same casting skills to create tableware and interior pieces in brass and pure tin. Every design starts from the material itself, and each piece is finished by hand by Nousaku's craftspeople.

1. Cast in Takaoka, finished by hand

marumaru is made with the casting and metalworking techniques of Takaoka, in a round form that suits today's homes. Hang it by a window or enjoy it as a small piece of interior decor.

2. The clear tone of brass

A Japanese wind chime, or furin, rings each time the breeze passes. With every unnecessary detail removed, marumaru lets the clear, lingering tone of brass come through: a chime to enjoy with both eyes and ears.
