Hozuki and Japanese wind chime

I took these photos at Senso-ji temple last Sunday.
It was a day of an annual event of the temple called "Shimanrokusen-nichi".
(Please check my previous post from here )
During the event, hozuki(Chinese lantern plant) fair is held at the temple.

It was very hot when I visited there, but sounds of those wind chimes cooled me.
