介绍（中）	suzu一词指的是与神道教仪式有关的两种日本乐器：（1）一个形状类似雪橇钟、一侧有狭缝的大型低吟钟；和（2）一种手持钟树，在螺旋线上分三层悬挂着小铃铛。更大的形式可以悬挂在神道教神社前的椽子上，并通过悬挂在朝拜者触手可及的长袍或缎带发出声音。在这里看到的较小的suzu被支撑在一个把手上，由穿着传统长袍、脸上涂着白色粉末的女性神社服务员（miko）手持，在表演kagura舞蹈时戴着平安时期的发型。Kagura（神的音乐）是一个术语，包括神道教的器乐、歌曲和在神社和宫廷表演的舞蹈。它早在773年就正式出现在宫廷剧目中。这些小铃铛是非常古老的礼器，也可以捆绑在一起进行民间和仪式表演博物馆罕见的十七世纪苏祖包含十二个桶形的羊角钟，其狭缝末端有一个心形切口。一个带有花朵图案和镂空心形的五瓣金属护手板的下侧有一个隐藏的铭文。它揭示了这种乐器的历史和用途，称这种神道乐器是由女祭司栗山佳美子在奈良县索县的米瓦镇用于崇拜米瓦米约津神的。它的日期也是1699年。
介绍（英）	The term suzu refers to two Japanese instruments associated with Shinto ritual: (1) a single large crotal bell similar in shape to a sleigh bell and having a slit on one side; and (2) a handheld bell-tree with small crotal bells strung in three levels on a spiraling wire. The larger form may be hung from a rafter in front of a Shinto shrine and sounded by a robe or ribbons that hang within reach of the worshipper. The smaller suzu seen here is supported atop a handle and is held by female shrine attendants (miko) costumed in traditional robes, white-powdered faces, and wearing Heian-period coiffure during performances of kagura dance. Kagura (music for the gods) is a term encompassing Shinto instrumental music, songs, and dances performed at shrines and at court. It was formalized as early as 773, when it appeared in the palace repertoire. These small bells, ritual implements of great antiquity, may also be grouped together in bundles for folk and ceremonial performances. The Museum's rare seventeenth-century suzu contains twelve barrel-shaped crotal bells whose slits terminate at its ends with a heart-shaped cutout. A five-lobed metal hand guard with flower motifs and openwork hearts bears a hidden inscription on its underside. It reveals the history and use of the instrument, stating that this Shinto instrument was used by priestess Kuriyama Kamiko for the worship of the Miwa Miyojin deity at Miwa, a town in Soe County, Nara Prefecture. It also bears a date of 1699.
