Wind chimes are actively being made in the workshop of the traditional craft "Izushiyaki" in Toyooka City, Hyogo Prefecture. White porcelain has been made from locally harvested stones since the late Edo period, and now four kilns have inherited the tradition.
The characteristic whiteness of Izushi ware will stand out, and a dark blue pattern will emerge, if glazed and baked for one day at a high temperature of nearly 1300 degrees. Wind chime are made until early July and are sold in workshops and local souvenir shops.
