clay and papermachee
In the mountains of Mikawa a lot of unmo (kirara) 雲母 mica was found since the times of Kira Kozukenosuke and earlier.
Yatsuomoteyama 八ツ面山 was especially famous for it, and mica from this mountain was even delivered to the Imperial Court in Kyoto.
But during the work in the mountains there were also many human deaths by accidents, and thus it was stopped eventually.
To appease the souls of the dead workers, 加藤熊蔵 Kato Kumazo was the first to make this shimmering kirara bells. They were hung on the trees of the path where the funeral procession was walking.

Its arms are quite thin and easy to break off, so they are difficult to fire.
