This bell was casted in 1690 ( = 元禄 ３).
They carried it to the Nanyoji (Southern sea temple) on Saipan in 1937.
It was missed in the result of Japanese imigrant's suicide tactics against
U.S.A. in 1944.
A Japnese American woman found it at Odessa, Texas in 1965.
(I cann't imagine an American soldier could transport this big bell as a
war souvenir. )
In 1974 it was returned the origin temple that is famous as Konnyaku Enma.
