Rin Sahari Akane is a handmade rin crafted by Kyoto artisans. It is a traditional product made by repeatedly polishing and tuning each rin to match its unique characteristics, listening carefully to the individual differences in sound produced during casting.
"Akane" is tuned to a calm, low tone.

The rin's main sound combines a clear tone with a low, undulating resonance, and this complex tone is traditionally considered a "good sound."
The sound of the product can vary greatly with even slight changes in the clay used for the mold and the alloy composition of the metal during casting.
Only products with a sound quality approved through the accumulated experience and techniques passed down as a secret in the workshop are circulated.

It is designed to carry the various feelings of the person who plays it in the "sound"—a sentiment from Kyoto's traditional craftspeople that has continued since the Edo period.

It uses a copper-tin alloy called "Sahari," which has been used in Buddhist ritual implements like rin since ancient times.
A specialized coloring craftsman extracts the color of the base metal by immersing it in a special solution boiled with verdigris, then coats it with a small amount of pigment mixed with lacquer, finishing the surface. Over time, it develops more character.

【Handling precautions, maintenance methods, etc.】
*Because it is handmade, the color appearance may vary depending on the product. Please understand.
*When cleaning, avoid using metal polish, detergents, or wet cloths; instead, wipe gently with a soft dry cloth.
*Due to the nature of the product, the color and appearance will gradually change and develop more character. This does not affect the tone, so it is fine to use as is.
*Because it uses hard metal, dropping or applying strong impact may cause it to break, so please be careful.

*Dimensions may vary slightly.
