As the year draws to a close, Japanese capsule toy company TOYS SPIRITS is back with the third installment in its popular "Really Rings!" capsule toy series: the "Really Rings! Ward Off Worldly Desires! Bell Tower ~ Part 3." Just in time for New Year's, this release features five distinct bell tower designs, each priced at 400 yen per play, and launched in late December 2021.
The "Joya no Kane," or New Year's Eve Bell, is an annual Japanese purification ritual held on December 31st (also known as Ōmisoka). Many temples ring their bells 108 times at midnight, transitioning into January 1st. These powerful, serene chimes are meant for quiet contemplation, as Buddhist tradition holds that the sound not only dispels worldly troubles but also offers blessings, allowing devotees to welcome the new year with a clear mind.
The "Really Rings! Ward Off Worldly Desires! Bell Tower ~ Part 3" capsule toy series is themed after the "Bonshō" (temple bells) found in Japanese temples. Each miniature bell tower features a built-in motion sensor that, when tapped, emits a loud, resonant bell sound! Beyond their varied color schemes, each bell tower also boasts a unique chime. Let these bell sounds purify your desire to buy more toys (it probably won't, but a collector can dream!) and usher in a fresh start to the new year!
