Hello, I received this wind charm from Japan, can someone help me read what's written on it? The quality of the image isn't very good but hopefully someone can read it. Thank you.

one more question, I noticed that morai was written in kanji with okurigana. The okurigana looks more like hi to me. Are my eyes failing me or maybe it's historical hiragana?
