Translation

In Japan's hot summer, the sound of furin wind chimes is indispensable.

The furin is a summer tool that has been used since long ago.

It is made of glass or iron.

When the wind blows, a small rod inside strikes the glass and makes a ringing sound.

Thanks to that cool sound, you can forget the heat a little.

At summer festivals, you can also see shops lined with many furin.

Why six school grades, and not N5–N1?

Because that is how Japanese children learn to read. Japan's Ministry of Education fixes exactly which character belongs to which grade — so "grade 3" is a boundary you can verify, not a feeling. Every article here is machine-checked: if a single character sits above its grade, it is not published.

The result: you never hit a character you have not learned. That is the whole reason this product exists.
