Dorei (土鈴) are clay bells, often shaped like animals or auspicious symbols. These hand-crafted bells are made from clay and fired to create a unique, resonant sound. Dorei are typically used as talis- mans to bring good fortune, ward off evil spirits, and promote prosperity. They are commonly hung in homes, gardens, or shrines and are popular gifts during festivals and special occasions. The charming designs and pleasant chimes of Dorei make them a beloved element of Japanese folk art.
