SINGING BOWL WITH A VERY LONG LASTING RING

Buddhist singing bowls are called “Rin” in Japanese and are used for praying and worshiping in Japanese Temples. However bowls of this size are usually used at home for the private altar. The cushion, called “Zabuton” is made in fabric with beautiful, vivid colors. The wooden striker is also covered with textile available in three colors: orange, purple or gold. These small altars in Japanese homes have been developed during the period of autarky of Japan when Buddhism was fervently practiced. Called “Butsudan”, these altars with singing bells are now a common part of Japanese culture and even within households practicing only occasionally you may find them.
