Kagura suzu are a set of twelve-to-fifteen bells on a short-staff used in kagura dance. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The set consists of three tiers of bells suspended by coiled brass wires from a central handle: two bells on the top tier, four bells on the middle tier, and six bells for the bottom tier.
Suzu come in many sizes, ranging from tiny ones on good luck charms (called omamori (お守り)) to large ones at shrine entrances.
