Key Features of SEO RAIN CHAIN
Migumo Rain Chain
Toh Rain Chain
What design differences stand out when you compare these two photos?
Both are products from SEO RAIN CHAIN, but there’s a significant difference in design. The upper one is Migumo, suited for traditional Japanese-style architecture, while the lower one is Toh. Migumo was designed to complement traditional Japanese buildings and features distinctively Japanese design elements.
On the other hand, Toh is designed with the flowing water as the main focus. Its minimalist design strips away all unnecessary elements, allowing you to purely appreciate the beauty of the water as it flows.
How to Enhance the Beauty of Water Flow in a Rain Chain
We are a manufacturer based in Japan, the birthplace of rain chains, with years of experience crafting these unique products. Through continuous product development, we’ve focused on perfecting the flow of water—the key feature of a rain chain—ensuring it looks as beautiful as possible.
As a result of this work, we reached a clear conclusion: While rain chains traditionally consist of chain-like structures with individual parts connected by rings, simplifying the design by using a single rod instead reduces the rain chain’s visual presence. This minimalist approach enhances the beauty of the water flow, making it more visually appealing than with conventional designs.
The same video is also featured on the product page, but we invite you to enjoy the beautiful flow of water in Toh here as well.
*Please note: This video features Toh-L, a slightly larger version of Toh.
This design creates a beautiful water flow but also presents manufacturing challenges. Each piece must be crafted carefully, with precise balance of the rain chain’s center of gravity. Without this, the chain will lose alignment and fail to function properly.
We solve this issue by carefully crafting each piece by hand every day.
To create the beauty of the rain chain's presence even when water isn’t flowing.
The beauty of the rain chain’s presence, even when water isn’t flowing, is also an important element of this product. On days without rain, the sight of the rain chain from an indoor window creates a fascinating sense of floating and enhances the perspective, making the garden appear larger. Additionally, its harmony with the garden and surrounding scenery is a key factor in creating its aesthetic appeal.
To create the beauty of the rain chain’s presence, we believe it is important that the design doesn’t overly assert itself but instead aligns with the surrounding landscape. We have concluded that, rather than opting for a more complex, element-heavy design, simplicity is key to achieving a beauty that harmonizes with the scenery.
What shape of rain chain balances beauty with a simple design? It evolved from the traditional ring structure connecting parts to a simpler design, where parts are linked by a single rod (used in Toh). This structure reduces the rain chain's visual dominance, contributing to its elegant presence.
Give SEO RAIN CHAIN a try – it’s the perfect way to enhance the beauty of flowing water in your garden.

This rain chain consists of straight cups in three different lengths. The spacing between the connected rain chains are unified with the spacing at which the water flow is most gracefully visible. Rhythmically connecting cups of different lengths, the simple yet refined shape enhances the flow of rainwater in an appealing manner. The lines connecting the rain chains and the cores that regulate the flow of water inside the Toh product line are all made of stainless steel, but the Toh line can be made with copper as well.
