Care instructions

Hang securely where the wind catchers can move freely and the brass body cannot strike a wall, window or other hard surface.

Bring indoors during rain, storms or strong winds.

Wipe gently with a soft cloth. For more noticeable dirt, use a soft sponge with mild detergent and dry thoroughly afterwards.

Avoid metal polish, steel wool and abrasive cleaners.

Small differences in surface character and sound are natural results of the individual finishing process.

Special

At a glance

• Compact brass body gives a lighter, more restrained chime
• Three soft wind catchers add delicate movement beneath the bell
• Individually finished and sound-checked for subtle tonal character

Small in scale, Tsubomi brings a quieter kind of presence.

Its compact brass body (60% copper, 40% zinc) produces a lighter, more restrained note than larger metal wind chimes, making it particularly easy to live with in smaller rooms or near an open window.

Instead of the usual single hanging strip, three soft wind catchers move independently beneath the bud-shaped bell. Their gentle movement gives the design a softer, more animated character even before the chime sounds.

The brass body is sand-cast in Takaoka, then individually refined and sound-checked by Nousaku's craftspeople. Minute differences in thickness affect the pitch, so even pieces of the same design can have subtle variations in tone.

The two finishes reveal the material differently. Silver has a smooth plated surface, while Casting Surface leaves the warm, slightly textured character of the sand-cast brass visible.

Made by Nousaku in Takaoka, Toyama.
