AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Description
This is a beautiful and diverse collection of Fūchin (traditional Japanese hanging scroll weights). Fūchin are used by attaching them to the wooden knobs (jiku-gi) at the bottom of a Japanese scroll. They provide the necessary weight to help the scroll hang straight and prevent it from fluttering in the wind, while also serving as elegant decorative ornaments.
This set includes 6 pairs, each featuring different materials and aesthetics, allowing you to match them perfectly with the season or the theme of your scroll collection.
Item Details
