Japanese Antique gong Waniguchi
This is a small sized copper Waniguchi in a wooden box.
Waniguchi is a Japanese flat round hollow metal slit gong that hangs before the worship hall at a Shinto shrine or image hall at a Buddhist temple.
By shaking the rope in front, it may be sounded by worshippers to attract the deity's attention.
Waniguchi literally means "crocodile (or alligator) mouth".
It is so-named due to the instrument's striking visual resemblance.
