Description: Kagura suzu are a set of twelve bells used in kagura dance. Kagura suzu is used by the miko shrine … more Kagura suzu are a set of twelve bells used in kagura dance. Kagura suzu is used by the miko shrine attendants during the kagura sacred dances. Kagura suzu has three rows of bells, arranged in a shape said to be inspired by the fruit of the ogatama tree, one of the sacred trees in Shinto religion. The term suzu refers to small bells in general, but can refer to two Japanese instruments associated with Shinto ritual: 1. A single large crotal bell similar in shape to a sleigh bell and having a slit on one side. 2. A handheld bell-tree with small crotal bells strung in three levels on a spiraling wire. The larger form may be hung from a rafter in front of a Shinto shrine and sounded by a robe or ribbons that hang within reach of the worshipper.

Hanabishi pattern in metal on wooden handle. Family pattern on crest, not cleaned to protect patina. less
