There was a big bell in the precinct of a Buddhist temple. And a young monk wearing a Kasaya stood beside it. A bell hammer was in his hand. After looking for the right time, he started to strike the bell. The sound of the bell echoed in the precinct.

It looked like a time tone. He struck many times without saying a word and I could not count how many times he struck the bell.

Different from Japan, there were no sculptures on the surface of it. It was very simple indeed.
