About this craft
Takaoka (高岡) in Toyama Prefecture is renowned for Buddhist metalwork dating to the Edo period. This orin is handcrafted using traditional brass-casting techniques that remain central to the region's identity. The dual-indent striker design reflects Japanese minimalism and functional aesthetics.
Description
Takaoka brass orin bell, mini size, ideal for compact home altars
Ring gently with the wooden striker on the padded base. The brass will develop a natural patina over time; polish occasionally with soft cloth if desired. Keep in a dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the black finish.
