From our recent Japanese acquisitions travels.
Here’s an extraordinary opportunity to collect and acquire the largest scale bell of this kind we have ever seen in private hands- a Japanese authentic hand cast copper Shinto Suzu bell.
The big 13″ high and 10.5″ 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.
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. We will include an old Japanese blue suspension cord as shown.
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
We can also make available a 72″ thick Suzu bell pull/rope if
required at additional expense.
