Vintage Japanese Small Gong with Striker — 1980s, Showa Era (SKU: 25M-319-1)
Whispers of Sound in Silver Stillness

Elegant in scale yet rich in resonance, this vintage Japanese mini gong from the 1980s Showa era exudes quiet presence. Resting on three tiny feet and finished in polished silver-toned metal with delicate etched details, it invites a single, clear chime that lingers like a breath in a still room. Whether for ceremony, meditation, or decorative charm, it serves as a gentle reminder to pause and listen.

Its miniature size belies its intention—used traditionally to signal the beginning or end of a moment, a practice, or a prayer. With its soft mallet and reflective surface, it carries the aesthetics of shibui—simple, subtle beauty—and embodies the essence of mindful living.
