Kagura suzu (神楽鈴, かぐらすず, "Divine Entertainment Bells"), used in the kagura dances, are a three tier set of bells, suspended by coiled brass wires upon a hand held rod. The shape of the bells are thought to have been inspired from the fruits of the Japanese Magnolia, Michelia compressa.
In the anime version, Hitomiko's Kagura suzu was originally her deceased shinkan master's before his death at Naraku's miasma, at which time he bequeathed it to her.[Note 1]
Hitomiko can use her Kagura suzu as a weapon, able to create barriers and to exterminate demons with it. When the bells were separated into their countless numbers, Hitomiko was still able to use them to keep enemy's away by throwing the bells, which created a barrier.
