 This Instrument is called the Kinsu. 
 This is used in the Buddhist Altar.

 I bought this from an old person who 
 worked for a sound effects movie company 
in Hollywood.  He had already retired
and he needed money due to illness.

 Hostess: 
 Ms. Kimi Fujita 

 Dora: 
 It is hand casted and struck to make bumps 
 (to make a better sound)

I don't have any background because
it has no name or age to tell me
where it's from.

A similar Instrument is called a 
Shogo 


The only difference between the two are
The Shogo is Only Casted, not struck.

Butsugu
		  Gokorei (or Ring)
	  
 This Gokorei belonged to my Grandmother.
 I remember my grandmother and her friend coming together 
to pray and sing together with the ring for buddha

 This is a reference book called NiHon No BijiTsu 
(Japanese Art "Butsugu" 1967) 
This is a very good book on Butsugu
