Owl, The Night Listener – Nerikomi Hanging Bell

Quiet and watchful, the owl sits calmly, as if listening to the world around it. The Night Listener is inspired by the owl’s gentle wisdom and peaceful presence.

This hanging bell is made using the traditional nerikomi technique. Layers of naturally colored clay are placed together by hand, creating patterns that run through the entire piece. Nothing is painted on, and no two bells are ever the same. Each one is shaped slowly, with care.

The owl remains still above, while the bell below makes a soft, muted sound when moved by a gentle touch. The sound is light and subtle—more like a quiet whisper than a chime.

Hung near a window, doorway, or calm corner, it brings a sense of stillness and quiet attention to the space. It’s a piece that doesn’t rush, but gently waits to be noticed.

Perfect for lovers of handmade ceramics, nature-inspired art, or anyone who enjoys objects that feel calm, thoughtful, and timeless.

A small work of art that listens more than it speaks—inviting quiet moments, soft sound, and reflection.
