Rain chain Rain chains ((日本語:鎖樋), ''kusari-toi'' or ''kusari-doi'',〔See rendaku for why multiple pronunciations.〕 literally "chain-gutter") are alternatives to a downspout. They are widely used in Japan. Their purpose is largely decorative, to make a water feature out of the transport of rainwater from the guttering downwards to a drain or to a storage container. (Rainwater is sometimes collected for household usage.) They can also be found on temples. Rain chains are typically either a series of metal cups, chained together with a hole in the bottom of each, or chain links that span vertically.〔 Rain water run-off gets distributed from a rooftop gutter downward through the rain chain. == References == 〔
