Connection to the seasons — Wind chimes and the coolness of summer
Wind chimes have long been a beloved symbol of summer in Japan. Originally hung as a charm against evil spirits, they became popular among ordinary people during the Edo period for their refreshing sound.
The reason we feel cooler when we hear the sound of wind chimes isn't because the actual temperature drops, but because our brains have learned to associate the sound of wind chimes with a cool breeze. Wind chime shadows, along with their soothing sound, are a part of the summer scenery that visually evokes a sense of coolness. Gazing at the swaying shadows calms the mind and brings a feeling of tranquility.
