Japanese Old Hand Cast Shinto Suzu Temple Bell with Original Rope Handle

About the Item

Here's an extraordinary opportunity to collect and acquire a Japanese authentic hand cast copper Shinto Suzu bell complete with its original pull rope. The bell shows good patina from age 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. This is a superb old copper signed casting of a wonderful temple bell and comes complete with it's elusive original pull rope. Authentically used, this Suzu bell was sourced from an old Central Japan collection. It dates to the early Showa period and displays an impressive fine old patina. The Suzu Shinto bell contains pellets that sound when agitated. At Shinto shrines, large Suzu drape over entrances, as it is said that ringing them 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) This bell possesses a beautiful original old patina which highlights its genuine 80+ year old temple life. Dimensions: The bell with its original rope measures 16 inches long. The hand cast, copper bell is 4 inches tall and 3 inches diameter. Tone: when gentle struck it gives a nice ring and resonance from the clapper inside History of Japan's suzu bells: Suzu 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.

Japanese "Suiseki" Mountain View Scholar's Stone / Elegant Mountain Scenery

Located in Sammu-shi, Chiba

This is a stone mined in Japan. Not only in China but also in Japan from ancient times, rocks in the mountains have been shaved and stones for viewing have been quarried. Such stones for appreciation are collectively called "suiseki". Suiseki means "water" and "stone". The name comes from the fact that I enjoyed pouring water on the stones and changing the color of the stones. And this item is also Suiseki, but it is for viewing without splashing water. It is made with the image of a mountain view. The flow of the river...
