Korean Bell

Japanese: 朝鮮鐘 - ちょうせんしょう
Korean Bell
A temple bell cast in Korea from around the Silla period (8th century). It is a circular tower shape with a flared base, with a bulge in the body, and in the space between the upper and lower bands, Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, heavenly beings, flying clouds, etc. are cast in raised motifs. The biggest feature that distinguishes it from Japanese bells is that a cylinder called a flag insert is attached to the crown at the top. There are relics from the Silla period, and they were exported to Japan, where copies were also made.

朝鮮で新羅時代 (8世紀) 頃から鋳造された梵鐘。裾広がりの円塔形で,胴部にふくらみがあり,上下帯にはさまれた空間に仏菩薩,天人,飛雲などを浮き文様で鋳出している。笠部に竜頭に接して旗挿と呼ぶ円筒が取付けられている点に,和鐘と異なる最大の特色がある。新羅時代からの遺品があり,日本へも輸出されその模作も製作された。
