Mokugyo (Wooden Fish) Fish-shaped Wooden Temple Drum Gong with Stick, Cushion, and Stand VB142

A wooden fish, also known as a wooden bell is used by monks and laypeople in the tradition of Buddhism. They are used in Buddhist ceremonies. Wooden fish is often used in rituals usually involving the recitation of sutras, mantras, or other Buddhist texts. Wooden fish often rest on a small embroidered cushion to prevent damage and unpleasant knocking sounds.

This traditional mokugyō (wooden fish) is carved with a rounded, resonant form and comes complete with its matching stand, embroidered cushion, and wooden striker, creating a fully assembled temple set ready for ceremonial use. The mokugyō is a percussion instrument used by monks and lay practitioners during Buddhist rituals, especially in the recitation of sutras and mantras, its steady rhythm supporting concentration and maintaining the cadence of chanting. Resting on a padded cushion to protect the wood and soften the impact, the drum produces a clear, warm tone that reflects the craftsmanship of its carving. As an object of both function and presence, the set brings a quiet sense of devotion and traditional atmosphere to any space, embodying the calm discipline of Buddhist practice.
