Description

Antique Japanese Singing Bowl, 1920s (SKU 25D-441)

Taishō-era rin set with lacquered stand, brocade cushion, and original striker

This antique Japanese singing bowl, or rin, is presented as a complete temple set, including its richly carved vermilion lacquer stand, silk brocade cushion, and leather-wrapped wooden striker. The dark, hand-hammered bowl rests on a vibrant red-and-purple cushion woven with metallic floral motifs, evoking the refined atmosphere of a Taishō-period (c.1920s) Buddhist altar.

The stand is finished in deep cinnabar red with gilt accents, pierced scrollwork, and braided relief panels, and bears hand-brushed kanji inscriptions indicating temple dedication. Together, the singing bowl, zafu-style cushion, and ornate base form a harmonious ensemble ideal for o-butsudan use, meditation practice, or as a striking focal point in a Japanese-inspired interior.

As part of our mission to preserve and share Japanese craftsmanship, we offer antiques that were made not just to be admired, but to be used. These pieces were crafted for everyday life, and we honor their purpose by ensuring they can continue to be enjoyed and lived with today.

We use professional studio lighting to highlight the natural character of the wood. As a result, the tone may appear slightly warmer than under natural daylight.

All vintage and antique items are sold as-is. Each piece may exhibit signs of age, including scratches, wear, or minor imperfections. These are not considered defects but natural evidence of the item’s authenticity and age.
