This distinguished rin bowl (輪鈴) is a rare example of Japanese temple-grade craftsmanship, bearing the foundry inscription 「王壟 重目」 — read Ōryō Jūmoku. The first characters 「王壟」 (Ōryō) denote the workshop or artisan lineage, while 「重目」 (Jūmoku, “heavy model”) signifies a premium-weight casting, purpose-built for long sustain and tonal clarity in ceremonial practice.

Forged from a traditional bronze alloy using centuries-old casting techniques, the bowl’s elegantly rounded form and smooth patina speak to its authentic temple provenance. The additional mass of this “heavy model” deepens its resonance and extends its vibration field, creating a rich and grounding sonic presence.

Its fundamental tone of D4 (~293.7 Hz) aligns with the anahata (heart) chakra, encouraging emotional balance, compassion, and integration — qualities highly valued in both Buddhist chanting halls and modern sound healing practice. When struck or rim-played, the bowl reveals a luminous, bell-like voice with complex overtones and remarkable sustain.

The inscription, tonal precision, and exceptional weight all indicate that this rin was not produced for export or casual use but as a ceremonial-grade instrument — likely commissioned for a temple or meditation hall. Today, it remains equally powerful as a centrepiece in professional sound therapy sessions or sacred ritual settings.
