• Orin (Japanese Buddhist Bell)　　
  

  Find inner peace through sound.
  An orin is a bowl-shaped Japanese Buddhist bell made of metal that has long been used in Japanese homes and as well as in Buddhist temples. When gently struck with a wooden mallet, it produces a clear, resonant tone whose soothing echo lingers in the air.
  
  In Japan, this pure sound has traditionally been believed to purify the space around you and bring a sense of calm and inner peace. Its gentle chime invites you to pause, let go of the day's distractions, and enjoy a quiet moment of reflection.
