Tsurigane, Antique Japanese Temple Bell

Antique Buddhist temple bell from Japan. The temple bell, Tsurigane (釣鐘) in Japanese, was used in a Buddhist temple to summon monks for prayer or to indicate the time. Unlike Western bells, the Tsurigane is tapped from the outside by hitting it with a wooden bar.
