In Japan, Kusari-Doi or "Rain Chains" have been used for hundreds of years. Copper Rain Chains can be found on temples, homes and in gardens all over Japan. "Kusari-Doi" provide a beautiful and functional alternative for the rain water gutter down pipe, producing a lovely cascade of water flowing gracefully between the sections of rings or cups. These are normally finished at ground level with a weight standing on pebbles to keep the chain taught. The water from the Kusari-Doi may then be fed into a pot or suitable drain covered with pebbles.
Dankoi are proud to be able to supply a large selection of these Kusari-Doi outside of Japan. Our Kusari-Doi are available in many different designs and materials to suit every budget. Copper Chains are the best and most elegant, and in time will weather to a delightful "Verdigis Patina". Copper coloured ABS plastic and black polyethylene are also available and have their place, especially where large quantities are required and weight and cost is a consideration.
All Kusari-Doi come in a standard length of 2.7m (9ft) and can be shortened or lengthened as required. |
