Cool chimes for sultry times

If your first reaction is 'Huh?' then that'd make the two of us. Masanori Oji's 'Tampopo' (dandelion) chime upends the furin concept: just sit it on a desk or shelf and it'll tinkle when the fluffy head picks up a breeze. As with a few of the other chimes we've written about here, the brass body was fashioned in Toyama – seems they've got a bit of a thing for furin there. (Sorry.)
