Transition of the ”furin” drawingsThe current image of an Edo Furin wind chime is a transparent bubble with a picture drawn on it, but originally, the glass used to be red. Images of treasure boats and pine trees were drawn on the red glass ”furin”. On the other side was a picture of a bushel of rice. |
