The Wind Chime Festival has begun at Shojuin Temple in Okuyamada, Ujitawara-cho, Kyoto Prefecture. About 2,000 wind chimes, including "flower wind chimes" with blue and purple hydrangea flowers and "Edo wind chimes" in vivid colors of red, blue and green, are hung in the temple grounds, and the cool sound of them chiming in is echoing through the air.
