7.25" Japanese Hand Hammered  
   Gong

Settle into the present moment. Deep, calm, resonant tones distinguish these finest quality Japanese gongs from all others. Known as "calm" gongs by the Japanese, they resonate at a slow frequency, recognized to have a centering effect upon the listener. The timbre or tone quality is rich, sonorous, and settled. Made in Japan of brass and other metals. Each gong comes with a silk brocade cushion and leather striker, and is stamped with the Kanji character, "touchi", meaning hand hammered.
