The young monk showed a strained look on his face. He might be conscious of my camera. The cymbals were in his both hands and he was playing them with zero enthusiasm. It was evening and some monks, including the monk in the photo, seemed to do the time tone with the cymbals and a drum.

It was not uncommon to have own clock or watch in the current era. Yet the tradition of the time tone has been continued.
