It has peacocks and goldfish on it. You can also purchase this wind chime. ✅The peacock is a symbol of warding off evil spirits! ! It seems that wind chimes were also tools that had the meaning of warding off evil spirits in the old days, so you can ward off evil spirits in two ways. ✅The goshuin book here also has a peacock on it, and you can receive a wonderful summer purification goshuin. ✅It's read as Kuizu Shrine, but it was also used as a location for the Ultra Quiz in the past.
