    Small Buddhist Mokugyo – Wooden Fish Pure Land Buddhist.
    A
    wooden fish
    — also known as a
    Chinese temple block
    or
    wooden bell
    [1]
    [2]
    — is a wooden
    percussion
    instrument that originated from
    East Asia
    .
    [3]
    It is used by monks
    [4]
    and lay people in the
    Mahayana
    Buddhist
    tradition. It is often used during rituals usually involving the recitation of
    sutras
    ,
    mantras
    , or other
    Buddhist texts
    . The wooden fish is mainly used by Buddhist disciples in
    China
    ,
    Japan
    ,
    Korea
    , and other
    East Asian
    countries use it in
    religious
    ceremonies. It may also be referred to as a Chinese block, Korean block or, rarely, as a skull.
    [5]
    In most
    Zen
    /
    Ch'an
    Buddhist traditions, the wooden fish serves to keep the rhythm during sutra chanting. In
    Pure Land Buddhism
    , it is used when chanting the name of
    Amitabha
    . (Wikipedia.com)
    Roughly 3" x 3" x 2.5"
    Mallet is: 4 3/4"
    There are two stress cracks on the sides, (see pictures) they were there when I had initially bought it. They have not grown nor do they impact the sound of the Mokugyo.
