This traditional outfit was historically worn by female workers and dancers during local matsuri (festivals), and has become a beloved symbol of Ōshima’s vibrant community life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExpertly hand-painted, the bell captures the gentle expression of the Anko-san figure, radiating warmth and local pride. A red cord is attached for hanging, and inside the figure is a small pellet that creates a soft rattle sound when shaken — as is characteristic of dorei bells, which were traditionally used as protective talismans or festive charms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece blends folk art and regional heritage, making it a wonderful example of Japan’s island-specific craft traditions and a meaningful collector’s item.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: 4 x 4 x 6cm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maison Kyo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56318169907531,"sku":"CB173","price":9.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0964\/9746\/7723\/files\/temple_bc0397bb-100f-4ace-ae5c-5ead5449375d.jpg?v=1768573422","url":"https:\/\/maisonkyo.be\/de\/products\/cb173-dorei-wooden-bell-from-oshima-island-%e5%a4%a7%e5%b3%b6","provider":"Maison Kyo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
