This cast iron bell is handcrafted by the Iwachu company in Morioka, Japan. It is traditionally placed on the ledges of temple or house roofs to ward off evil spirits and activate the universal qi energy, which is favorable.
In the stifling heat of Japanese summer, the sound of these small bells is refreshing. A wish or poem is often written on the weather vane so that the wind will carry it away and it will come true.
You can hang your bell inside the house next to a door or window or outside in the garden or on the terrace. According to the ancient system of feng shui, red is the color of the fire element; it is associated with intensity, strength and luck. Is this bell yours?
