March 31, 2016, Tokyo, Japan - Masayoshi Shinohara blows a blob of molten glass into the shape of a wind bell at his workshop in downtown Tokyo on Thursday, March 31, 2016. Traditional Japanese wind chimes have captured the hearts of Japanese with their beautiful sounds since the 18th century when Dutch glass making techniques were first introduced to Japan. One of the characteristics of the authentic Japanese glass wind bells is that the painting is done from inside in order to keep the colors from fading. (Photo by Haruyoshi Yamaguchi/AFLO) VTY -mis-
