Hon-tsubo bell 1.2 sun (approx. 3.6 cm) - 2 pieces These Hon-tsubo bells have a clear tone that resonates far and wide. The sound is produced by the swaying motion of walking, so they are sometimes used to alert others of one's presence when hiking in the mountains or on forest roads. *This product is not specifically designed to deter bears, but some people use it as an aid for alerting them with sound. Recommended for use in shrines and temples, as well as for carrying on hikes and walks, and as a Japanese-style interior accessory.
