Rain chains, called kusari doi in Japan where they have been used for hundreds of years to collect water runoff from the roofs of homes and temples, are an ecologically sound and beautiful solution for disconnecting downspouts and recycling rainwater. Not only are rain chains aesthetically pleasing and functional, but they are transformed into a beautiful, rippling water feature of your garden each time it rains.
