🌿 Japanese Temple Rin Bowl — G♯4 (414 Hz) “Hoshime” Edition
Hand-cast bronze ceremonial singing bowl, mid-20th century, Japan.
This exceptional Japanese rin bowl (輪鈴) exemplifies the refined aesthetic and tonal precision of traditional Buddhist ceremonial instruments. Hand-cast from a premium bronze alloy, the bowl features a distinctive hoshime (星目) — “star-marked” — textured base, a hallmark of fine temple craftsmanship. The understated horizontal incised lines around the shoulder speak to the Japanese reverence for simplicity and form, grounding the bowl firmly in Zen and Shingon temple traditions.

Struck or played around its rim, this rin produces a luminous fundamental tone of G♯4 / A♭4 (~414.1 Hz), a frequency traditionally associated with the throat chakra, communication, and the release of emotional expression. Its slow bloom, long sustain, and stable overtone field make it a prized instrument not only in temple rituals but also in contemporary sound healing practice.
The bowl’s heavier construction contributes to its deep resonance and exceptional tonal purity, while the naturally weathered patina attests to decades of ceremonial use. Pieces of this calibre were historically commissioned for chanting halls and meditation spaces, and they continue to serve as powerful anchors in therapeutic sound journeys and contemplative practice.
