Sotto Orin Bell ‘Cherin’ with Wood Base - Seo Seisakusho

With its charming, cherry-like shape, Cherin with Wood Base is a modern take on the traditional orin (Japanese Buddhist bell), blending seamlessly into contemporary lifestyles like a refined art object.

Its rounded brass form rests on a natural wood base, adding a warm, grounded presence to the design. No cloth or cushion is needed, allowing the piece to sit beautifully and effortlessly in everyday spaces, while a felt pad on the bottom of the wooden base helps protect surfaces and keeps the presentation clean and simple.

Like Cherin, it is not merely designed for beauty or cuteness—it embodies the craftsmanship and spirit of Seo Seisakusho, a workshop renowned for generations of orin making, forging, and metalworking.

To achieve a pure and resonant tone, the inside of the bell is carefully hollowed out. The striker’s tip is made from mizume-zakura (Japanese cherry birch), chosen for the clarity and warmth of its sound. The natural wood base further enriches the resonance, giving each strike a warmer, more grounded tone with a soft lingering resonance.

Designed to harmonize effortlessly with everyday life, Cherin with Wood Base is loved by many as a graceful tool for quiet reflection, calm, and mindfulness, offering a clear, resonant tone that gently marks each moment and resonates with those who appreciate meditation tools such as singing bowls.
