Japanese Antique Bronze Temple Bell Shinto Buddhist Taisho Period Shrine Suzu

This is an antique Japanese bronze temple bell crafted in the Taisho period, featuring traditional Shinto-Buddhist design elements. Its deep patina and refined metalwork embody the spiritual aesthetics found in historic Japanese shrines.

This bronze bell showcases classic Japanese temple craftsmanship, including raised boss decorations, vertical rib patterns, and a dragon-shaped handle symbolizing protection in Shinto-Buddhist culture. The inscription indicates Taisho 3 (1914) and references Niigata City, adding regional provenance. Such bells were traditionally used in temples and shrines to mark rituals, prayers, and ceremonial moments. The naturally aged bronze surface displays a warm, historic character valued in Japanese antiques.

Ideal as a decorative piece for home interiors, spiritual spaces, or as part of a Japanese antique collection. It can be displayed in a study, meditation room, or cultural art setting.
