Description

Ajiro is a rain chain with a classical presence that highlights the texture of pure copper. The word "Ajiro" refers to a traditional Japanese wickerwork structure made of woven bamboo or wood. True to its name, the surface of the cups features a pattern that looks like it has been woven, creating an expression with depth.

The copper changes from a bright color to a calm brown over time, allowing you to feel the layers of time that are unique to outdoor materials. The cup-shaped structure catches water and guides it downward, softly conveying the presence of the rain. It pairs well with Japanese homes, gardens, and architecture that uses natural materials. The quiet presence of the copper blends in as a natural part of the exterior.

Rain Chains Crafted from Copper (C1100)

Copper is a timeless material for rain chain. At Seo Rain Chain, we use high-purity C1100 copper. This metal is 99.9 percent pure, which allows the surface to change naturally. It forms a protective layer called a patina. This layer shields the metal from damage and enhances its strength and beauty.

When we ship your chain, the copper has a reddish-brown glow. Over months and years, it deepens to a rich brown. Depending on where you live, it may eventually develop a soft green color. This transformation is not just aging—it is a sign that the metal is breathing in harmony with nature.

Copper is soft, so maintaining a perfect shape requires expert craftsmanship. We apply a hairline finish to the surface. This creates a calm texture and softens the light reflection.

As the rain chain changes with the seasons, it brings a quiet character to your building. Outside of Japan, similar items are often sold as "Bronze Rain Chains," but most are actually made of copper. Our pure C1100 copper naturally develops that rich bronze tone over time, highlighting the material’s lasting elegance.

Copper

This is raw, uncoated copper. Over time, the color deepens and can develop a patina—a natural surface that forms as copper ages outdoors. The change feels calm and organic, which many people love in a copper rain chain.

Support

Can I install the rain chain myself?

Working at heights on a roof can be dangerous, so we recommend hiring a professional roofer. However, some models are easier to install if you feel comfortable doing so yourself.

Please review our How To Install page to decide. If you are replacing a pipe downspout, you will need to remove or cut the pipe, so we recommend a professional for that task.

When will my order arrive?

If your item is in stock, we typically assemble and ship it within one week. (Hamon models may take up to three weeks). Once shipped, we will send you a tracking number so you can see exactly when it will arrive.
Note: If an item is out of stock, we handcraft it to order, which takes 3 to 4 months. Please order early if you have a specific deadline.

Can I adjust the length of the chain?

Yes, we can make the chain to your desired length. Lengthening it yourself is difficult and may cause it to detach, so we suggest ordering a slightly longer chain and cutting it on-site.

If you are unsure about the length (especially when converting from feet), please contact us for advice.

To learn more about extending chains, see:
Connecting Method for Extending Toh, Ta-ke, and Tama.

Please note that the price changes based on length.
