【Important notes】 ・International buyers are responsible for any import duties, taxes, and charges not included in the item price or shipping cost. Please note that VAT paid to Catawiki is separate from and does not cover import duties or customs charges in your country. You may still be required to pay additional fees upon delivery, as determined by your local customs authorities. We strongly recommend checking with your country's customs office to determine these additional costs before bidding or buying. Prompt payment of these fees ensures timely delivery. ・Shipping Details: Most items are shipped via Japan Post EMS (airmail). Upon request, we can arrange shipping via DHL or FedEx for an additional fee. ・Damage and Issues: If you receive a damaged item, please contact us immediately before leaving a negative review. We kindly ask for your patience and the opportunity to rectify the issue. The damage must be reported to your local post office within 7 days of delivery, and promptly to us and Catawiki support. 【Product details】 This complete Showa period collection consists of seven Orin bell ensembles, totalling 27 pieces (Buddhistic object). Each set includes a brass bell, cushion, stand, and wooden striker—except for the largest bell, which comes with its cushion but no stand. The strikers are made of wood, six wrapped in brocade fabric and one in leather. These bells are used in Buddhist rituals to punctuate prayers and moments of meditation with a distinct, resonant chime. Unlike Himalayan singing bowls, which are rubbed in a circular motion, Orin bells are gently struck to produce a single, fading tone that creates a serene atmosphere. The bells are crafted from brass, while the stands are made of either wood or lacquered resin. The cushions are covered in vividly patterned brocade fabric, symbolising respect and reverence in Buddhist altar settings. There are visible signs of age and use, including scuffs, patina, and minor stains on the bells. The cushions show fading, and the strikers have some blemishes and wear consistent with use. Overall in good used condition. Please refer carefully to the photographs for details. Dimensions when stacked: approx. H 10.3-12 cm W 8.5-9.5 cm D 8.5-9.5 cm ・Please make sure to review all the provided information and images before placing your bid. ・We make every effort to accurately represent the product's colors and textures in our photos. However, due to differences in monitors and device displays, as well as photographic conditions, slight color variations between the photos and the actual product may occur. We ask for your understanding in advance. Thank you for your interest, and happy bidding!
