This bell is made using Nousaku brass casting techniques that have been passed down for 400 years in Takaoka City, Toyama Prefecture. The transparent and beautiful sound of brass has a delicate lingering sound, and it will clearly alert bears to your presence when mountain climbing, mountain walking, hiking, mountain stream fishing, etc.
It has a resin cover, so no matter how you hold it, it will make a good sound. The bell body does not hit clothes or backpacks directly, producing a clear sound. Since it is a belt type, it can be easily attached to a backpack, etc.
In addition to being a bear repellent, it can also be used for self-defense, as a door chime (doorbell), and as a hand bell.
