Japanese New Year Bell Ringing @ Asian Art Museum Online

December 31, 2021 @ 10:00 am 12:30 pm

Bell Ringing at Asian Art Museum in SF
Join us for the Asian Art Museum’s 36th annual New Year Bell Ringing Ceremony. This year’s program will be held virtually. The bell will be struck 108 times to usher in the New Year and curb the 108 mortal desires (bonno) that, according to Buddhist belief, torment humankind. As you listen to each ring of the bell, imagine leaving behind the unfortunate experiences, regrettable deeds, or ill luck from 2021. Tune in with the whole family at 10 a.m. for our New Year Bell Ringing Storytelling Program. And explore recipes, activities, and more you can do at home in celebration of the New Year. Schedule of Events 10–10:45 AM: Japanese New Year Stories for Kids 11–11:30 AM: Welcome Remarks by The Barbara Bass Bakar Director and CEO Dr. Jay Xu 11:30 AM–12:30 PM: Bell Ringing Ceremony
