Bell at Byōdo-In Temple
The bell house (kanetsu-ki-do) contains a five foot high, three ton brass bell (bon-sho meaning 'sacred bell') cast in Osaka from a mix of bronze and tin. A soft wooden log (shu-moku) is used to strike the bell. The tone of the bell sounds a message of deep calm and peace, cleansing the mind of evil and temptation.
