This bell is made using the brass casting techniques of "Nousaku," a company with a 400-year history in Takaoka City, Toyama Prefecture. The beautiful, clear tone of the brass lingers delicately, effectively alerting bears to your presence during activities such as mountain climbing, hiking, and stream fishing.

It has a resin cover, so it rings clearly no matter how you hold it. The bell itself doesn't directly touch clothing or backpacks, resulting in a clear sound. It's a belt type, so it can be easily attached to backpacks, etc.
Besides bear deterrence, it can also be used for self-defense, as a door chime (doorbell), or as a handbell.
