Japanese Iron Bell Buddhism Temple Shinto Shrine Suzu Gong BOS963 Description
I have handled several bells like this, but this one is considerably heavier.
Because it is thick, the sound does not have the resonance or spread of a typical bell.
This is a Japanese iron bell traditionally used in Buddhist temples or Shinto shrines. The bell has a simple yet powerful form, made of solid cast iron with a natural aged patina. Its deep, resonant sound reflects the spiritual atmosphere of religious rituals and practices in Japan.
