 Product History

When did these crafts start to craft?:400 years ago / 1600AD / Edo period in Japan

It is said that the first wind chime was created and presented to the feudal lord in response to his request for a wind chime with a good tone. The rough surface of the cast metal is covered with a pattern of countless holes that look as if they have been bitten by insects. The manufacturing methods and techniques, including the blending of materials made from pig iron and iron sand, have been handed down from father to son and from generation to generation in the Eda family, and are a secret tradition that has never been handed down outside the family.
