The Peninsula Academy

Glass wind chimes brightly painted with colorful motifs are popular summer decorations in Japan. Known as Furin, they are hung from porch eaves or in windows, where their clear, light tones draw our attention to cooling breezes. Participants in this program will visit Shinhohara Furin Honpo, a family-run business founded in 1915, and one of the few remaining studios in the country where these chimes are still fashioned by hand. Each guest will craft his or her own Furin by blowing the glass and painting the bell as a keepsake gift of the experience.
