Traditional Inkin

An inkin is a hand-held bell used during liturgy or to mark periods of zazen. Traditionally struck three times at the start of a period and two times at the end, its bright, full sound beautifully counterpoints the stillness of sitting. This traditional inkin is ideal for meditation halls.
