Temple Bell

A great bronze temple bell under a wooden beam. Grab the rope, pull down, and hear it toll β€” in dawn courtyard, night shrine, snow, or monsoon.

Pull the Rope

The bell & its temples
  • A bell with a real voice
    Five inharmonic partials plus strike noise β€” the toll rolls out and decays for seconds. Its clapper is a true second pendulum, striking only when the swing earns it.
  • Pull the rope
    Grab the rope knot and drag down β€” the bell builds swing with every pull, like the real thing. A small tug earns a small toll; a hard pull makes the whole room roll.
  • Four temples
    Dawn courtyard with rising embers Β· night shrine with a crescent and fireflies Β· snow drifting down Β· monsoon rain slanting past the gopuram. Each with its own light and sound accent.
  • It keeps count
    The status line quietly counts your tolls β€” and which temple you last rang in. A hundred tolls in the snow feels different from a hundred at dawn.
