Illustration: Under the eaves of a Japanese home, a small glass wind chime hangs beside an open veranda. A summer breeze lifts its plain paper strip sideways, pulling the suspended clapper against the inside of the glass bell. Below it, a child has paused while eating watermelon and tilts an ear toward the chime.
