Collection: Wind Chime Weight (Fuchin)

Fuchin to Adorn Hanging Scrolls

As the characters suggest, fuchin (“to calm the wind”) are attached to prevent hanging scrolls from being damaged by swaying in the wind.
They are also effective for keeping scrolls with curling edges hanging straight.

However, in modern homes, hanging scrolls are rarely disturbed by outside wind.
Therefore, the original functional role of fuchin has diminished, and they have taken on more of a decorative purpose.

Fuchin decorations come in various forms, such as those made from marble or using traditional ceramic techniques.
The tassel parts also feature luxurious colors like gold and purple, along with fine details.
Coordinating the beads and cords with the hanging scroll is enjoyable, and adding fuchin is recommended to enhance the overall design of the scroll.
