Tsurigane, Japanese Bonsho temple bell

The Japanese bell, better known as Tsurigane (釣鐘) or Bonshō (梵鐘), is used in Buddhist temples throughout Japan to summon the monks for prayer or to indicate the time. Unlike other bells, the Japanese temple bell is struck from the outside by hitting it with a wooden bar or hammer.
