KUON Tone Rin Bell, Brass Orin Bell with Wooden Mallet

A modern take on the Japanese orin: a slim solid-brass bell and wooden mallet with a soft, lingering tone, from KUON’s Tone series.

The Tone Rin Bell is KUON’s modern interpretation of the orin, the small bell rung in Japanese homes for prayer and reflection. Sleek lines meet intricate craftsmanship: a solid brass bell, 1.75″ across and 1.5″ high, set on wood with a matching mallet — zelkova with Gold, maple with Silver. Strike it gently and it answers with a soft, lingering tone. Part of the Tone series, it offers a calm presence for moments of quiet and prayer. Handmade in Takaoka, so the finish varies slightly.

Why we carry it

We’ve been curating design-led pieces since 2009, and we look for objects that are well made, honest about their materials and a pleasure to use. KUON (空穏, “calm sky”) is the mindfulness and interior line of Yotsukawa Seisakusho, a copperware maker founded in 1946 in Kanaya-machi, Takaoka City, the birthplace of Takaoka’s famous metal-casting industry. Working with the town’s specialist artisans and workshops, it pairs traditional Takaoka techniques with soft, contemporary forms. Each piece is made by hand, so the finish can vary slightly from one to the next.

Buy once: durability and care

Our care advice: wipe with a soft, dry cloth after use and avoid abrasive pads or polish, which can scratch the finish. Each piece is handmade, so small differences in finish and color are part of its character.
