Utau Meditation Bell
North Country Wind Bells
Take a quiet moment and meditate to the music provided by our Utau Meditation Bell (pronounced “Oo-tow”), meaning “to sing” in Japanese. This bell will fill the air with a mesmerizing tune, so you can peacefully reflect in your outdoor space. Resembling many Buddhist temples found throughout Asia, our bell offers a multi-level temple, representing the many stages of Buddhist meditation. We coated this bell in a vibrant red, which is often a symbol in Japan for vitality, energy and the life force in people. The two tones of this bell soothe the listener with an enchanting song, as it plays in the wind. Standing at 11.25 inches tall, this bell matches well with a Golden Bonsai Tree Windcatcher. Height: 11.25 inches. Tones: Two. Color: Semi-Flat Red. www.northcountrywindbells.com
