AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
An unusually large Japanese resting bell 銅鉢 (dôbachi), with a rounded, bowl-shaped body and a dark, aged patina. A continuous hammered texture encircles the exterior, while an incised inscription runs around the upper rim. The bell rests on a red and green brocade silk cushion and is accompanied by a red lacquered bachi 撥 (striker).
Inscription: “Made by Morishima Uramaro, resident of Iwagami, Kyoto” 京岩上住森嶋浦麿珍作. "Inscribed for Shôfûzan Ôshôin temple, Nakauchida Village, during the tenure of its 39th abbot, 諦誉." 東郡中内田村松風山応聲院三十九世諦誉代
Period: Japan – Dated November Horeki 12, Anno 1763, Edo period.
When struck, it produces a long, resonant tone with a slight cricket-like buzz as the sound fades. Resting bells are traditionally used in Buddhist rituals to mark moments during chanting and meditation.
Dimensions:
Height 37 cm, Diameter 38.5 cm in diameter.
In good original condition, with superficial traces of age and use. The slight irregularity in its sound should be taken into account, but still a long lingering pleasant sound. Please refer to the photographs for a clear impression of the condition.
When shipped, a certificate of authenticity will be included.
