[Product Description]

A sound praised by Stevie Wonder.

The Myochin family is a prestigious lineage of armor makers that has continued since the Heian period. This wind chime is made by the 52nd head of the family, **Munemichi Myochin**.
This wind chime, which sublimates the techniques once used for armor and fire pokers into a modern art form, is characterized by the extremely clear and long-lasting ringing sound produced when the fire pokers touch each other. Its tone is also called The Mystery of the Orient and has been praised by world-renowned musicians.
