19th C. Japanese Edo Period Bronze Umpan Gong

Item Details

Description

East Asia, Japan, Edo period, ca. early to mid-19th century CE. A beautiful cast bronze gong known as an umpan that was used in a Zen temple or monastery. A suspension hole is pierced through the top center with raised lotus petals encircling the opening. A relief medallion on both sides consists an eight spoked wheel of dharma. Umpans were usually hung near the kitchen or dining hall for because they were rung to signal meals. Umpan translates to "cloud plate" and this example has the characteristically in curled tips and a tapering neck which represent a stylized cloud. The daily lives of Zen monks are directed by the sounds made by instruments such as this umpan and other types of gongs. Different tones and sounds made by these instruments gave meaning to and signaled the passing of the day; especially when there were vows of silence - talking was not permitted but these gongs could break the silence. Size: 8.5" L x .5" W x 8.5" H (21.6 cm x 1.3 cm x 21.6 cm)
