I had never heard of these before. But I just learned that these beautiful and functional home accents have been around for hundreds of years. The idea of rain chains started in Japan. They function much like the gutters and downspouts of today do. They capture and channel rain water. The difference is that you can see the water coming down the chain. They also add an aesthetic quality to your home while at the same time entertaining your senses by hearing the rain descend the chain. In the past, these chains were used to funnel the water into a barrel to store it for later use.
