Passion and Dedication of the Craftsman

This powerful healing chime, perfect for use in a quiet environment, is ideal for yoga, meditation, relaxation, and much more. This series is the result of an international collaboration between Tokyo shamisen artisans and London product designers.
The technique and experience of shamisen artisans--and their focus on sound and vibration--is seen everywhere in these chimes. Examples include use of special film to enhance the sound of the shamisen, and the wrapping of the shamisen strings on the mallet design.
These instruments are made with generous amounts of ebony wood, and painted with high-quality lacquer to highlight the wood grain and give it a luxurious finish. The bronze is extremely durable and long-lasting. We offer three sizes for use in different scenarios, as well as for high or low sound.
