Background of the Product
The Mokugyo, or wooden fish, is a traditional percussion instrument used in Buddhist ceremonies, chanting, and meditation across Japan and East Asia. Its rhythmic, hollow wooden striking sound helps monks and practitioners maintain timing during sutra recitation, while its fish shape symbolizes wakefulness and mindfulness.
