About the Item

Here's a beautiful and unique way to accent your indoor or outdoor garden space with this treasure from Japan! This is a superb solid bronze casting of a wonderful smaller scale temple bell, Bonsho. This bell was sourced from an old Kyoto Japanese collection recently, It dates to the end of the Taisho period and displays an a bluish green azurite patina. These bells were often commissioned and made available to private individuals. This bell possesses a beautiful original old patina which highlights this 90+ year old bronze relic. Dimensions: 6 inches tall and 4 inches diameter Tone: Beautiful when struck with striker, we will include a wooden striker as shown Quality: Nice aged patina. Heavy hand cast. This bell is a hard to find in this size; most found today are larger and heavier in scale. Hand cast. Make wonderful garden accents. When struck, long pleasant resonating sound. History of Japan's temple bells: Rather than containing a clapper, bonsho is struck from the outside, using either a handheld mallet or a beam suspended on ropes. Antique Japanese bronze temple bells have a handle of dragon heads called ryuzu, protrusions called chi chi or nyu and to improve resonance of sound, protruding, tsuki-za, striking panels and in some instances possess a mei-bun inscription of the bell's history. Bonsho or Buddhist bells known as tsurigane (hanging bells) or great bells are large bells found in Buddhist temples throughout Japan, used to summon the monks to prayer.
