Description
These Zen Clappers are handcrafted from black walnut by monk and woodworker Teido Bill Stephens. Designed to fit comfortably in the hand, each piece has enough weight to produce a strong, clear sound. Used alongside an inkin bell, clappers serve signal transitions between meditation periods and other activities.
In Zen monasteries, clappers are part of the rhythm of daily life. They are used to mark the beginning and end of silent meals, call practitioners to the meditation hall, and signal transitions between sitting and walking meditation.
