How to strike

There is no need to strike hard. Gently tap the orin lightly with the striker once and isten through the entire resonance. The fading sound itself is the true value of the orin, offering a moment of calm and stillness.

Placement

The included felt base stabilizes the resonance and prevents unwanted contact noise. Always use the orin together with the base and place it on a stable surface to enjoy its full sound quality.

Care

Wipe gently with a soft dry cloth. Please avoid chemicals, polishes, moisture, or direct sunlight. Over time, the surface may naturally change in appearance—this aging process is part of the orin’s charm and character.

A striking presence with a clear, lingering resonance.


Handcrafted in Takaoka, Japan—a city renowned for over 400 years of metalworking—the Musourin is cast with precision so that the material itself is designed to sustain a long, beautiful sound. When struck, a bright, clear tone rises effortlessly, spreading overtones throughout the room before gently dissolving into silence. The clear, radiant tone fills the space as if purifying it, with lingering echoes that fade like particles of light slowly drifting away. The sound is regarded as a healing presence that supports daily meditation rituals, making it ideal for meditation, mindfulness, and relaxation practices.
At 4.5 sun (approx. 5.36 inches in diameter), this larger size provides ample volume and sustain, making it ideal for spacious living rooms, entryways, or open interiors. This orin functions beautifully as a Japan meditation bowl, designed not only as a ritual object but also as an elegant accent for modern interiors.

Finish: Gilded “Kōsai”


Using Takaoka’s traditional kōsai surface treatment, subtle shimmering reflections are created before being plated with pure gold. Depending on the angle of light, the surface glows with changing brilliance, adding both depth and warmth to the metal. Over time, the finish matures gracefully, becoming part of the orin’s unique character.

Recommended Uses
* A welcoming chime at the entrance to greet guests
* A single strike to begin morning meditation or breathing exercises
* A signal to mark transitions during reading or tea time in the living room

Set Includes: Orin bowl / Wooden striker / Felt base

A harmony of sight and sound—the brilliance of gold and the clarity of tone—this orin is a centerpiece that elevates any space, whether used as a Japanese singing bowl for meditation or as a refined interior object.
