New Year's Eve. Buddhist temples ring their bells 108 times at midnight. This tradition is called joya no kane which means "bell rings on new year eve's night." The rings represent 108 elements of bonno, defilements, or Kilesa in Sanskrit, which is said people have in their mind. The bells are rung to repent 108 of the bonno.

now available!: Hiroki Sasajima - Suikinkutsu (3Leaves, 2010)

Suikinkutsu is recorded in "Stalactite grottos of Nippara" at Tokyo Okutama.

"Suikinkutsu" is a decoration of a Traditional Japanese garden.

"Suikinkutsu" is usually put in the Japanese garden, however, it is unusual for it to be put in stalactite grottos.
