About the Item

From our recent Japanese acquisitions travels. Here's an extraordinary opportunity to collect and acquire one of the largest scale bells of this kind we have ever seen in private hands- a Japanese authentic hand cast copper Shinto Suzu bell. This big 9 inch high and 7 inch diameter bell shows patina from great age, dates to the late 19th century, and was likely used by a member of Japan's Shinto Buddhist Community where it was authentically rung in Shinto ritual at some time in the distant past. It is signed on its base signifying importance. Included is the original attached tassels plus a strong 36 inch long strong suspension cord which will you allow to suspend it in your favorite space. This is an extraordinary copper casting which was authentically used. The large old bell dates to the late 19th century period and displays an impressive patina from age. The Suzu Shinto bell contains metal pellets that yield a pleasant sound when agitated. At Shinto shrines, large Suzu bells drape over entrances. It is said that ringing a Shinto bell calls kami, allowing one to acquire positive power and authority while repelling evil. Please enjoy an actual photograph of these bells actually installed in situ. (photo). Tone: when gentle struck it gives a nice sharp ring History: Suzu bells hang under the eaves of a Shinto shrine, The Suzu is a round, hollow Japanese Shinto bell that contains pellets that sound when agitated. At Shinto shrines, large Suzu drape over entrances, as it is said that ringing them calls Shinto Spirit gods -kami-, allowing one to acquire positive power and authority, while repelling evil.
