Hakata Chanpon, a traditional craft of Hakozaki Shrine's Hojo-e Festival. This is a very beautiful piece of clear glass. Unique Tone When you blow into it, it makes a simple yet captivating sound, "Chan" and "Pon." It's as thin as a soap bubble and very light, giving the impression that it might break easily. However, it seems to be made of high-hardness glass, so it's surprisingly durable. Please enjoy blowing it, not just displaying it. Size: Approximately 26cm (large size) The clear ones without painted designs are rare, allowing you to appreciate the beauty of the glass craftsmanship. Hakata Chanpon is a glass craft item that has been popular as a souvenir of the Hojo-e Festival since the late Meiji era. It got its name because the sound "Chan" and "Pon" can be heard when you blow into the glass tube. Currently, there are no artisans who can make Chanpon, making it a very rare craft item. Please consider this item with the understanding that it has been stored at home for a long time. I may delete this listing as I am hesitant to sell it. Thank you for your understanding.
