🎎 Antique Japanese Shinto Shrine Suzu Bell with Red Cord and Tassel – Japan Antique Roadshow

🎎 This is an authentic suzu (鈴), a ceremonial bell traditionally used at Shinto shrines (神社) across Japan. Such bells are rattled by worshippers as an offering of sound—meant to purify and to summon the attention of the kami (神), the deities or spirits of Shinto belief. This example, made of what appears to be brass or bronze, produces a distinct rattling sound designed to resonate through sacred spaces during prayer and ritual.

The bell retains its original red cord and tassel (fusa, 房), likely crafted from natural fiber, possibly hemp, in keeping with traditional shrine fittings. The cord shows expected wear from age and use but remains sturdy and functional. The bell’s surface displays a warm, rich patina with small scratches and marks that reflect its long history of sacred service.

📏 Approximate dimensions

  • Bell: 14.5 cm tall × 11 cm diameter

  • Cord: 29 cm to tassel + 11 cm knotted section

  • Weight: 360 g

  • Material: Brass or bronze with natural fiber cord (possibly hemp)

  • Era: Early Shōwa period (昭和, 1926–1989) or older; exact age is difficult to determine

Curated in Shizuoka City by Kurt Bell, this suzu bell is a rare and evocative piece, offering a meaningful connection to Japan’s spiritual traditions and the enduring beauty of its sacred spaces.
