The crisp bell rings in summer, saying that Japanese wind chimes can dispel the summer heat. In Japanese poetry, tatami and wind chimes are also called "romantic poems in summer". In May, the temperature rose all over Japan. At this time, no matter in rural or urban areas, most people like to hang a small wind chime under the eaves or in a ventilated corridor. Ordinary wind chimes are like inverted teacups. There is a small stick hanging inside, and a thread is hung at the lower end of the stick. A slender piece of paper called "short book" is tied to the line.
In the depressed and irritable summer days, the ears are full of noisy cicadas. Only the breeze blows, and the short book turns in the wind, driving the stick to hit the wind chimes constantly. The crisp jingle sometimes sounds like an oriole, and sometimes it sounds like a swallow whispering. In the hot summer, people are relaxed and happy, and the heat is unconsciously reduced. At present, there are many kinds of wind chimes, such as gold, silver, copper, stone, pottery, and shells strung together as wind chimes by the sea. Ordinary wind chimes are made of iron and glass. The most famous ones are "Southern Wind Chimes" and "Edo Wind Chimes".
Kannonji Wind Bell Festival in Koomachi, Suwon City, Nara Prefecture is held at this time of the year. It is said that the sound of wind chimes can ward off evil spirits and avoid disasters.
The "Wind Bell Festival" is being held in the temple in Suiyuan City, Nara Prefecture, Japan. About 2500 wind chimes gathered from all over Japan, fluttering in the wind and making a crisp sound, making people forget the heat of summer.
