Shakubu

Shakubu is a traditional Japanese musical instrument similar to a percussion instrument called a gong or bell. It produces a resonant, calming sound when struck, often used in religious ceremonies, meditation, or traditional performances. Made from metal, shakubu's design allows it to create a deep, sustained tone that can enhance spiritual or cultural rituals. Its name and specific variations may differ depending on regional or contextual use, but generally, it contributes to the ambiance and spiritual atmosphere in Japanese cultural practices.
